Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Vitality Liverpool Half Marathon on Sunday, 29th March 2015, in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support, and in memory of my dad, Paul Brocklehurst (that handsome swine up there!), who was taken by the disease in April last year.

You can read more about the outstanding work MacMillan do with cancer sufferers and families here: http://www.macmillan.org.uk

As some of you may know, fitness isn't my strong point, so you might be surprised that I've volunteered to run 13.1 miles. I can assure you, you're no more surprised than I am!

I haven't set a donation target, as I'd be happy if everyone reading this page gives what they can or are willing to give, and I know MacMillan will be grateful for anything raised.

As an extra bonus, Towergate (the company which owns my work) will match the amount I raise, as MacMillan is one of their nominated charities this year. Nice of them, isn't it!

As my fundraising total will be matched, I am obviously keen to raise as much as I possibly can, so I can't stress enough how difficult this will be for me! I may have underestimated just how far 13.1 miles is, but I'm determined to do my dad proud. As such, please feel free to share my page on whatever social media you use, whether it's Facebook, Twitter, or old school MySpace!
