Hi there and thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Well, I've done my first run of any distance. Some of you might not think 5km is very far, but it felt like it when I finished. I'm pleased to say I achieved my aim to do it in under 30 mins, in fact completing the course in c27mins 15.

I said if I did okay with this one I'd try 10km next time so that's the next step, but I'm not sure quite when. I'll update the page when I decide on the next event.

"Run for the Future" is a 5km (3 miles) 'fun' run, jog or walk for all the family on Bristol's Durdham Downs that has been going since 2006. It is arranged by Rotary in Bristol and it aims to raise money to fund prostate cancer research and patient care and treatment.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Bristol Urological Institute gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thanks to everyone who sponsored me through Justgiving. I can continue to take money for a few weeks yet so if you haven't already done so please sponsor me now! Thanks to those who sponsored me off-line - I'll be round to collect soon!
