Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to run a half marathon this year to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support as recently the lives of people I care about have been touched by cancer.  I just felt the need to do something to help.

So, I signed up for the Redcar HM and started training in May. Now, I'm not a natural runner, but I've been supported and trained by some wonderful friends and family and I will be running the whole 13.1 miles.  

I'd like to say a special thank you to Viv Pow.  Viv (aka the Oberfuhrer or Drill Sergeant) was with me for my first complete 5km run, shouting encouragement, and again for my first 10km, all whilst being treated for cancer herself.  She's the inspiration for me completing this half marathon.
