Story

Well here is my story....a year and a half ago i decided enough was enough and was fed up of being overweight and feeling tired and decided to start walking to loose weight...after a few months this then started to running and a year later i am running more and more and feel a bit like FORREST GUMP lol :)

Now i feel it is time to put all this hard work to good use and i thought sod it, why not enter myself into a marathon and and the next one available and a place i have never been to is in Barcelona on Sunday March 17th...bring it on!! 

I decided on Macmillan because i know many people that have had the support from them and if it was not for the charity, they do not know how they would of coped. Also i am sure like me, we hope that there will be a cure in the future and all of your kind donations will help fund this well deserved charity.

So please donate all that you can, as every penny really does help plus I'm sure it'll spur me through the training and marathon and will make it all worth while.

And for the fine print.......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 Macmillan.

Many thanks in advance, your support is tremendously appreciated!

Mark :)
