Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As most of you know my Dad lost his fight to Ocular Melanoma this August. He spent his final days in the care of The Dougie Mac Hospice who were just fabulous. The care they give to patients and their families is like no other, so what better way to give something back to them by raising a bit more money.

I will be “running” the Alton Towers 5K on 12th November 2023. 5K might not be a lot to some of you but for me who has arthritis and a slipped disc it is a hell of a lot.

My Dad loved his running and did many many marathons, half marathons, race the train and a lot more, something I could never do.

Any donations greatly received however small.

Wish me luck 🖤🤍💛
