Story

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Everyone who knows me knows that if there's one thing I'm not, it's a runner, and completing the GNR will be a huge challenge for me. I'm running in memory of my wonderful Auntie Maureen who sadly passed away from mesothelioma in 2009. 

Mesothelioma is a horrendous disease and the chances of long term survival are very slim. The British Lung Foundation has outlined its top 10 research priorities for mesothelioma (which you can read about on their website if you're interested) and any money raised will go towards this research, raising awareness of the illness and supporting sufferers and their families. 

My Auntie Mau taught me that you can do absolutely anything you put your mind to and I'll be thinking about her when I cross that finish line. 

Now here's the Just Giving donation blurb:
