Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.   

This year to raise money for the Berwick-Upon-Tweed Chemotherapy Day Unit my challenge is: 

"3-in-3"   3 Half Marathons in 3 Weekends

Bath 11th Mar - Liverpool 18th Mar - Wilmslow 25th Mar

As many of you will know this means a lot to me personally having sadly lost my step-dad to cancer in 2010. In comparison to his battle with cancer, my challenge really isn’t that much of a challenge, but I’m hoping to raise as much money as I can to make the tough times a little less tough for cancer patients in the Berwick area. Any money you can donate will be greatly appreciated.

A little background on the Berwick Chemo Unit: Berwick-Upon-Tweed is my home town, located in rural north Northumberland (not Scotland!).  Opened in 2008, Berwick Chemotherapy Unit is a nurse led unit that provides treatment for cancer patients in Berwick and the surrounding area. Without this service, local patients have to make a 110 mile round trip to receive their treatment in other hospitals.  For my family and many other local Berwick people dealing with cancer, this local facility was a god send, reducing the time, stress and cost associated with driving 55 miles before and after treatment.  The money I’m hoping to raise will go towards maintaining and improving the facilities of the unit so other patients and their families can benefit from being treated locally.

Thanks very much and if anyone needs me in March, I'll mainly be running!
