Well I am now all set for the 20th September my Fund Raising Pack arrived today, (yippee..) so I am now officially entered in the Great North Run and ready to start on my challenge.

The pack contains everything I need, the only problem I seem to have at the moment is logging on to the JUSTGIVING website. It just won’t load in the browser (anyone else had problems with this). JustGiving offers you the opportunity to set up a webpage so that people can make donations online, I have set up my donation page at www.justgiving.com/fastat50 is seems a little temperamental at the moment, if you do have problems making a donation please keep trying I think it’s just a technical hitch.

JustGiving is a safe way to make a donation online, when you arrive at my page you will see that the money you donate will on this occasion be going to the Breast Cancer Care Charity, please give generously I would love your support, if you have any comments please submit them below.

Although my challenge does not start officially until 2010, there is nothing better but to get started,  as you may have seen in previous post on the blog, my training back to peak fitness commenced back in April. But to prove to my family and friends that I am serious about this challenge I have just entered the Great North Run 2009, this will be a good test run before the real challenge starts next year, it will also help me practice my fund raising skills.

I will be running to raise money for Breast Cancer Care, just waiting for my fund raising pack. Would like also to take this opportunity to thank Harriet Farrow (sporting events assistant), for letting me know all about it and also allocating me a place. I did try to register for the run earlier but found that the ballot had closed.

So here is a message to all you would-be Marathon & Half Marathon Runners, register your interest with charities, subscribe to their Newsletters, they will do their best to help secure you a place.
