Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Can't believe we talked ourselves into running the Birmingham Half Marathon on October 24th. But, now we're getting close to the date, and actually think we might just be able to finish it, we thought it would be great to raise money for charities that are close to our heart and provide support for illnesses that have affected our family.
Firstly, for Macmillan Nurses, who provided wonderful support to our Mum / Grandma - Norma - when she was terminally ill with cancer.
Secondly, for Diabetes UK, which is a charity providing support to an increasing number of people. Indeed, one person is diagnosed with diabetes every 3 minutes in UK while 3 people die from its complications every hour.
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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity. If you are not in UK, then you can still donate - just remember that about $1.50 = £1 or €1.25 = £1.
Unfortunately, the Just Giving website doesn't support two charities from one webpage, so if you wish to donate to Diabetes UK please use the donate button below. If you wish to donate to MacMillan Nurses, please follow the link below.

So please dig deep and donate now. Please feel free to forward this link to anyone else that you think might want to help us meet our target.
We'll post pictures when we've finished, although sure they won't be pretty.
Thank you all for your support
