Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This will be the third time in a row i have run the Cardiff event, I hadn`t any particular plans to do so until a great pal of mine rang me all excited to say he was "joining me" for this year`s race following a discussion we had a few months prior, when i encouraged him to enter despite the fact he hadn`t done much (well, more to the point ANY!) running for several years. I got my entry in double quick with more than a slight twinge of guilt!!!

Dickie lost his beloved dad to cancer back in January 2000 and has decided to commit all his training and hardwork to raising as much as possible towards this important cause. Running is absolutely NOT his chosen subject but his determination and will power are inspirational and it is for this reason that i have decided to also, with your help, try and raise as much as possible in support.

His website dedicated to his dad's memory is http://www.formydad.co.uk. Dickie's raised over £15,000 for Cancer Research and I hope to help him raise that even higher!

I have always enjoyed the challenge of running this distance but to do so for a great cause like this should give even more satisfaction in completing the course and it will most certainly spur on my mate...COME ON DICKIE!!!!
