Dear Friends & Family,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you know I am slightly mad at times and I think that yesterday proved this...  I was one of the 36,000 people pounding the streets of London for the first Virgin London Marathon!

I am pleased to say that I am still alive, I have a finishers medal along with a huge grin on my face....All those endless training days, cold winter morning runs, pasta dishes, half marathons and being over taken by a carrot during a practice run were all worth it as it was a fantastic day and one that I will never forget..The huge crowd from the start to the finish line were unbelievable and seeing my family and people cheering my name as I ran gave me a huge boost.   I just had to keep telling myself that the pain was temporary and the memories will last forever and they sure will! - If I can do it anyone can.

I ran for Cancer Research UK and have raised several hundreds of pounds already and would love to raise even more.  I realise that you may support charities in other ways and people may ask you on many occasions for sponsorship money, however I would be most grateful if you would consider Cancer Research UK and my aching limbs - I will be truly grateful for any amount!

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 -

Thanks a million..

Clare
