Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm not sure how or why I ended up doing this run - probably a combination of a couple of glasses of vino and a very well (or badly) timed email from the Christie charity. 

I know that 10k isn't exactly a marathon but for us "big boned" types it is not exactly a stroll in the park either. Having successfully avoided all cross country races at school I can honestly say that this will be the first occasion that I will be lining up for a run longer than the length of a hockey pitch.

My chosen charity - The Christie - will not need any introduction or much of a sales pitch.  I would be amazed if there are any of you based in the North West who hasn't got a friend or relative that has benefited from the fantastic work that they do. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.  Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
