Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'll be running the Isle of Mull Half Marathon for the simple reason that I'd like to raise some money for two very worthwhile charities: Macmillan Cancer Support and Lawyers Without Borders UK.

The charities I've chosen provide invaluable support in their respective fields and are both incredibly important to me.

One in three people will get cancer in their lifetimes. Even more people will be affected by cancer in some way. Macmillan Cancer Support is there for these people; providing practical, medical and financial support for cancer sufferers, their families and friends. Having had cancer affect my family, my friends and their families, I know how vital this support is. This JustGiving page hopes to raise money for them.

Lawyers Without Borders UK seeks to promote the rule of law through international human rights initiatives and the provision of legal aid in developing countries. The charity has a student branch in Oxford for which I am heavily involved in fundraising at university. I will be raising money for this cause mostly offline but, although there isn't a Justgiving page, you can donate by following the link below.We may even be able to match all donations 1:3 with money from grant-providers if we reach our Big Give target, so all the more reason to donate! If you are interested in finding out more or helping the cause, please take the time to check it out- it's a cause that's well worth our time and effort.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure, so please give whatever you can. The charities I've chosen and I would be very grateful and anything you can give will go incredibly far in providing valuable support where it is needed.

Thank you.
