Fundraising for Breast Cancer Now
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
In a fit of enthusiasm in 2019, I balloted for the London Marathon and was lucky (?) enough to get a place. Covid, of course, caused it to be deferred and although I ran a 'virtual' one last year in the pouring rain, kindly supported by some of my lovely colleagues, the real thing is now finally happening on October 3rd this year.
Until 6 years ago, I had never run for fun! However, after having an operation for breast cancer and feeling the need to re-evaluate, I took up running because it was free and all you needed was a pair of trainers. Although I don't have to raise any money (as I got my place through the ballot), on the basis that I would rather run 26.2 miles for something than nothing, I have opted to try to raise some money for Breast Cancer Now once again. Most of us will know someone who has suffered from cancer, so anything you can give, no matter how small, to this excellent charity to help fund research, would be very much appreciated and will help me through those many miles on 3rd October 2021. Very many thanks indeed - and I promise, never again!!
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.
