My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page

So, um, yes, I'm running 10K, with the super-lovely Helen and Nicky...

The reason I've decided to run for Cancer Research UK is that one of my friends from school, Will Scott, died in November after a brave battle with cancer. Will was a seriously great bloke and part of a group of lovely guys who took me under their wing at school, let me hang around with them and humoured me for what was the best year of my life. He was funny, charming, daring (I won't elaborate, but Millfield people will know what I mean!) and also super-fit (he ran half marathons carrying beer barrels - as you do!) and may well have raised eyebrows at the thought of me running 10K, since at school I was noted for WATCHING rather than playing football, singing, writing and other such sedentary actvities.

Cancer Research UK is a fantastic charity as they conduct research and work in areas of cancer treatment, prevention and care.

So here's the website blurb:

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK 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.

Any sponsorship you can give is massively appreciated.

Thank you, you're all great!

Hugs
