Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

*** Challenge Complete!!! ***

Why (on earth) am I doing this?:-

Partly because I am crazy, partly because I love a challenge, but mostly because I want to do something to support such a worthwhile cause.

Every year there are approximately 152,000 strokes in the UK. That's one stroke every five minutes. Most people affected are over 65, but anyone can have a stroke, including children and even babies.

Personally I have lost two Grandfathers to stroke, one at the age of just 62.

Challenge Details:- Complete 100 miles (I have now entered an extra 10 mile event in Blackpool which will help me build up the miles quicker just in case!!) in 6 months (well just over!) Events to be confirmed but planned races are as follows:-

* I will be collecting donations for Cancer Research separately off-line, but please let me know if you would like to donate to this cause instead.

Race entry and travel costs will be paid personally by myself, meaning that all donations will go directly to the Stroke Association.

I will update this page with my progress (!).............

Thank you very much for any donations however small.

Love and Best Wishes
