Story

Idiotic as it may sound, I'm running the Yorkshire Marathon to raise money for Macmillan!

As you might know, we lost my grandma to a pretty aggressive cancer recently. We still don't really know the ins and outs of it, she deteriorated too quickly for the doctors to run the proper tests - what we do know is that she gave it a bloody good go. 

Proper motivational type stuff - we watched on in awe. 

The people at Macmillan really are great - I know my family cannot speak highly enough of them. They're there when you need them to be, and calm/supportive in the moments where you frankly have no idea what to do. 

In memory of her, and gratitude to the amazing team at Macmillan, I wanted to give something back and show appreciation for what they do. I'm aiming for a now revised target of £750, so appreciate greatly anything you are willing and able to give. 

Thanks for reading.
