So, tomorrow will be another long run. best make sure I don't get lost this time.

I thought you'd like to know why I have chosen to run for Ronald McDonald House Charities. Well, I personally have seen the benefits of what they can do with the money you will hopefully help me to raise.

My youngest niece, Natasha, has had a brain tumour and spent quite some time in Alder Hey Hospital a few years ago following an operation. Just outside the hospital was one of the Ronald McDonald houses- and my sister & brother-in-law were able to depend on the house to stay close to Natasha. It was essentially a home away from home- and they were able to stay as long as needed, at no cost. It really does make a difference to families at a time when all they can think about is the health of their child.

So please sponsor me, and do what you can to motivate me over the coming weeks!

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
