Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I used to hate sports so much, but I have since realised that I actually quite like running.  I'm never going to win anything or be at the front but I go at my own pace and I like a challenge, which is why I entered a half marathon.

I'm raising money for the Prostate Cancer charity as I feel there is not enough focus on male cancers.  These charities do not have as high a profile as say Breast Cancer, so I thought I'd try to do my bit to redress the balance.

Both my parents have survived cancer and I'm grateful that they have.  Thousands of others have not been so lucky, so I'm doing this for them as much as I'm doing it for my folks.

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.
