Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having ran the London Marathon twice I wanted to complete my hat-trick in New York, why wouldn't you! I thoroughly enjoy both the mental and physical challenges I encounter, as you can imagine there are the inevitable ups and downs. Underpinning everything is the overwhelming feeling of humility, pride, relief and exasperation as I cross the line. My two marathons so far are without doubt the most humbling experiences of my life, alongside that of seeing my closest friend battle with cancer. As I get older cancer seems to be touching people far too frequently, and I know that raising money for Cancer Research UK can only help in the battle against this terrible disease. 

I was fortunate to secure my place through the ballot, I will be staying with family, and Sean Hook of Consilium Wealth Limited has very kindly sponsored my travel expenses, so every penny you donate will go to Cancer Research UK.

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

Thank you for your support

Duncan Wright.
