Great North run in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support
« 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
