Running for Hugs

I wanted to set myself a difficult and meaningful personal challenge to raise money and awareness for Blackpool’s Cancer Support Charity ‘Hug in a Bag who have suported my Mum. I plan run 12 Marathons in Twelve Months starting in October 2014 during Brest Cancer awareness month and finishing next October 2015. In speaking to my three non-running sisters they two are going to support me and they will be taking on their own epic running challenge, going from non-runner to the three of them relaying a marathon alongside of me (8.73 miles each) at Blackpool Marathon (Home Marathon) on 26th April 2015 with the support of the event organisers Fylde Coast Runners. 1st marathon is Sunday 5 October 2014 – Chester Marathon 6th matathon will be Sunday 26 April 2015 – Blackpool Marathon the halfway point and the 'Home Run' my three sisters will be relaying the marathon alongside me…it’s going to be the emotional one of the 12. last marathon will be York October 2015. Hug in a Bag is a small charity and depends entirely on charitable fundraising and the support of the public and volunteers to be able to do their work. Your donation can help in so many ways, Just £40.00 will provide a Hug in a Bag per patient. I am setting a £4000 target which will provide 100 Hugs to repay the one they gave my mum. Every single pound will help towards giving a much need HUG!
