Welcome to my 2012 half marathon challenge! I plan to complete a half marathon for each month of 2012 in order to raise money for two charities – This page will donate to Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). To track my progress please see http://niki-sweeney-2012.blogspot.com/

The RNLI is a very worthwhile cause and personal to me following the passing away of my grandma at the end of 2011 due to cancer. My grandma frequently encouraged adventure and exploration and supported the RNLI over many years and so I wish to continue with this. Anything you can give will be much appreciated.

I will be travelling around the UK to run the 12 races which involve road and multi-terrain courses. I will be paying for all the expenses so all donations will go straight to the RNLI. The 12 races I am running, in which various people are going to join me, are below:

Month	Date	Location
January	1	New Year Recovery Run, Stanwick Lakes
February	12	Liversedge, West Yorkshire
March	4	Haweswater, Lake District
April	1	Baildon Boundary Way
May	13	Leeds
June	24	Hadrians wall
July	1	Lakeland Trails Half Marathon, Coniston
August	18	Race the Train, Mid Wales
September	22	Great Langdale Half Marathon
October	7	Royal Parks Half Marathon (London - RNLI)
November	25	Bath hilly half
December	16	Santa run (Wellingborough)
