Sponsorship for Macmillan - BUPA 10k London 2012

[Shippy92]

Hellp all

Some of you may know me as that annoying photographer who spams these forums with his photos! (sorry!).

Anyway, I am entering the Bupa 10k London 2012 Run in support of Macmillan Cancer - a cause that is close to my heart after my Grandma Sweet (Shirley) passed away on 11th August 2011 - Macmillan were there for my Grandma during her last days and made them alot more comfortable. They also made things alot easier for the family as a whole. Before my Grandma died, me and my sister (Vicky) told her that we would raise money in support of them as she spoke highly of Macmillan - and this is our way of doing it.

Now 10K might not sound alot - but when you can barely run from one end of the room to the other you know its going to be a struggle - suffice to say I will be doing alot of training come the new year! Will be my first ever sponsored run so I intend and make a real go of it and achieve the best time I possibly can - As well as achiving my ultimate goal of raising lots of money for the fantastic people at Macmillan.

Please give what you can to this fantastic cause and help me reach my £300.00 target. Like I say this cause is close to my heart so every donation will be appreciated.

You can give by either speaking to me at a match and filling out a sponsorship form or by visiting:-

Good luck tomorrow. It looks like it's going to be a tad warm. So take it easy, make sure you're hydrated, take advantage of any shade and have fun.  8)
