My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! 

 
On October 11th I will be running my first (and quite possibly, my only) half marathon in order to raise money for Cancer Research UK.  This is a charity close to my heart and I am running because I can - not everyone is so lucky!  With your support Cancer Research hope to change this and help more people beat cancer, so please give generously.
 
As I write this, it is a little over 10 weeks until the big day - I have downloaded a training schedule and started a training blog so that you can follow my progress: http://zoecakeshalfmarathon.blogspot.com/. 
 
Thanks for your support,
Zoe x


UPDATE 9 September 2009 - since fundraising is going so well I have decided to up my target, unfortunately although I have just completed a 10-mile race my training is undergoing a minor blip at the moment (see my blog for details) but regardless I will be there on the 11th October. 

FURTHER UPDATE 5 October 2009 - less than a week to go until the race and I'm trying not to panic.  Fundraising is going so well that I have now upped my target to £1000 - thanks to everyone for their support!

POST-RACE UPDATE 31 October 2009 - it was tough but I finished the race in just over 2h 15min and thanks to your support I've raised over £1200 for Cancer Research.  The full story of my run can be found at http://zoecakeshalfmarathon.blogspot.com/2009/10/mission-accomplished.html
