Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.You may be surprised to see my name in the same sentence as "running", even more so when you see "5k" in there too. I have to say, I'm not quite sure how this happened myself! However, we're making a weekend of it, I'm doing the 5k on Saturday and Norman's doing the real run, the Marathon, on Sunday.He's running for Cancer Research UK, and also has a just giving web page (http://www.justgiving.com/NormanJohnston), incase you're feeling flush! To donate to me follow the instructions on this page or you can donate by text, just text GAJX99 to 70070 to donate £2, don't forget to choose the gift aid option.

Unfortuantely, the statistics are true and I know so many people, friends and family, who have been affected by cancer. Macmillan is just one of the charities helping support those affected. I'd be delighted if you'd help support me to get through those 5k by donating to Macmillan. Equally, if you'd like to donate to Norman instead, he's got more of a mountain to climb than me and every £ in his donation profile will help him get through those 26.2miles!
