Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running in my first Marathon in Edinburgh on 26th May and hopefully will do a time under 3 hours....this is also, more importantly, to raise money for a very worthy charity; Macmillan.

They helped my Brother-in-law John out a lot whan he was diagnosed with Cancer. He received much needed support and hopefully, I like to think made his last few months more manageable.

Unfortunately John didn't make it through his treatment, and April will be 5 years since he passed, only 28 years old and just five weeks before I married his Sister Jemma.

I thought that this would be a fitting tribute, and with your help, a good way to help the Charity that supports so many people that are in the same position as John was. So please give all you can and I promise that in the Marathon and the weeks of training that come before it, I will do the same!

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 - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you so much
