Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

A few years back, I decided that I would like to run the London Marathon in my 40th year, after completing the Bristol to Bath Marathon in my early 30's.  Me and my good friend, Andrew Graham, are running for Young Lives vs Cancer, as we have both known someone who has been affected by cancer - like most of us.

The time has now come, and we have secured our place for 2nd October 2022 - and the training has started.  My body definitely doesn't feel like it did 7 years ago when I completed the Bristol to Bath, but I am confident that we will get to that start line, and do everyone who has sponsored us, proud.

Please give as much or little as you can, we want to raise as much money for this amazing charity as we possibly can - so every little helps.

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.
