Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I run to try and stay fit. I'm very conscious that for many people the simple act of going for a run is not possible. Without being sentimental about it, reminding myself to say a quiet "thank you" for the ability to run is often all I need to help dispel the tiredness and lighten the load when my legs start complaining and the voice in my head is asking what on earth I think I'm doing.

Asking for and receiving sponsorship is a great motivator, thinking about the amount in the "Total raised" box definitely helps to keep me going, and running for sponsorship changes things, the goal changes from something personal into something about connections. The running is still a personal activity, nobody else is doing the running for me, but now the activity is creating a link between supporters and the charity, not just raising funds but also awareness.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

If you want to support Prostate Cancer Research by sponsoring me, that's fantastic, thank you very much, to find out more about the work they do, follow the link on this page.

Thanks again,

Ed
