Story

Thanks for taking the time to look at my just giving page.

In December 2010, my Father was diagnosed with having Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia.  This is something that affected us all and made us stand up and look at life in a different way.  As a keen runner with a number of marathons and half marathons under my belt, I have decided that this year I will run a number of events to raise money for this fantastic cause. I will be supported along the way by my Dad who also aims to complete some events on his bike and my friends and family. 

 

So far I have completed the Barcelona Marathon (6 March), Liverpool Half Marathon (27th March), Leeds half marathon (8th May) & The Great North Run (17th Sept), the Liverpool Marathon on the 9th October.

 

I now take on my next lot of challenges for 2012, which begins with a 2 half marathons before the Edinburgh Full Marathon on the 27th May 2012.  My Sister Jennifer will also be taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon as part of a team of 4 in the relay race.

 

So please support me this year however you can and help me raise as much money as possible in your work places, with your family, your local or even join my events team. 

 

I look forward to you following my journey throughout the year.

 

Matt
