Most of us are affected by cancer in some way or another, one in every three people in the UK will be directly affected by it at some point in their lives.  When deciding to do the run it just seemed like a good thing to do at the time but things change, as they always do, and were brought sharply back into focus when my nephew was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour.  So here?s a big shout out to you Michael!!

So what better way to help in the continued battle against cancer than to sponsor a young whipper snapper of Yorkshireman (aka me!) to run around the grounds of a posh stately home!  So please dig deep and prove that we don?t all have short arms and deep pockets!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It?s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK gets your money faster and, if you?re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
