Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page *Big Love*

In a moment of madness a few months back I agreed to run this half marathon with my mad work colleagues but was unsure of what charity I would run it for.

Unfortunately on the 26th of June this year I lost my Uncle and although his cause of death was pneumonia he spent a lot of his life struggling with various demons, his largest of all being alcohol. This seriously affected not only his health and quality of life but it also put a lot of stress and strain on the relationships in his life. Loved ones, family and friends all tried in their own ways to help Kevin overcome his addiction but in the end it was to no avail. 

This is therefore the reason I have chosen to run this event, not only in memory of my Uncle but for Addaction. A charity who goes to great measures not only to help people overcome their addictions but also how to educate people about drugs and alcohol and provide a support network for addicts and their families. I hope the money raised will mean that more people like Kevin and their families are able to get the help they need before it is too late.

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 whatever donation you can spare, it's going to go a long way & make a huge difference, save a life even J

Many thanks
