My story

Thanks for visiting my JustGiving fundraising page.

I have always wanted to do the Great North Run, and when challenged by my friend Neil Douglass (who was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia in September) to join him in applying for a place in the 2011 race to raise funds for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, how could I refuse??? I get the personal achievement of running in this iconic event in the year I hit 40 years of age, while raising as much money as possible for a brilliant charity, which will hopefully contribute towards funding research for a cure, while supporting those battling Leukaemia & Lymphoma.

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

So please sponsor me now....your donation will be gratefully received by me and more importantly, by those who will benefit from your kindness!
