Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, I completed the marathon in 4hrs 57mins, I was hoping to complete the run in under 4hrs but I struggled all the way through, so I am a little dissapointed with my time.

I would like to thank everyone for sponsoring me and for all your support, this has really helped me try to get through the enormity of losing Sharon. I don't have all the figures and sponsorship details as yet but I think I may have raised nearly £3000 for Cancer Research UK.

If it is the first time you have visited the site, I ran with my friend Paul to raise money for Cancer Research UK and in memory of my wife Sharon who passed away in November 2004 from breast cancer, aged 34.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks again for your support.
