Story

 I did it! 5hrs 14mins 46secs.

Thank you with all my heart to those who donated. Really appreciate it.

 

tough day today. 10.5 miles done but should have done more. Tired, both physically and mentally.

18 miles done. It's getting closer now!

17 miles done. 12.2 miles non stop running, then walking and running. About 14-15 miles ran in total. Then back home and throwing up! Not great but all for a good cause.

14.5 miles running and walking today. ran at least 10 miles. 2 hours 58 mins. Can't move now!

run done today. Very sore now but better than yesterday.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For over 4 years my dear friend has been fighting cancer and in January he was told all avenues had been exhausted....

It is with great sadness that I have to update this page with the news that my friend has passed away.

This has had a profound effect on me, so I decided to try raise some money for Together for Short Lives, by running the Yorkshire Marathon. And although I am terrified, it's nothing compared to what my friend and thousands of others go through.

I really appreciate you donating what you can here, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
