Title: Great North run in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support
Post by: Eric on June 07, 2015, 22:24:38 PM

Hi everyone,
In 2014 I completed the Great North Run for the 1st time at the age of 58. This year I am going to do it again at the age of 59....PLUS I am planning on doing the Cardiff Half Marathon as well two weeks later!!!!!

I ran in support of the Firefighters Charity in 2014 and with the help of lots of good people raised over £760. In 2015 I will be running both half marathons in support of Macmillan Cancer Support (most people will know them as Macmillan Nurses). I hope you can support me and Macmillan Cancer Support in this new venture.

My 'Just Giving' page, where you can make any donations, can be found at;

I really appreciate all your support and am grateful to you for any donations, large or small.

Cheers
Eric

Knee holding up, no more bouts of vertigo.  So training now starting in earnest for the two half marathons.
