Since the 2009 Lands End to John O'Groats Challenge with Nick
and Pete
there always had to be another big Fundraising Event! This is it, and
MacMillan Cancer Support was chosen for a number of reasons. First and
foremost, I have become aware of so many people whom have had
unimaginable help and support from MacMillan, in their hours of
greatest need, and not just the individual, but their entire
families.... in their hours of greatest need!! Also, the enthusiasm and
positivity of MacMillan Supporters seen at dozens of locations along
the London Marathon route was nothing short of absolutely
staggering....
I thought, I'd like to support them too, and thus London to Venice was
born! All I had to do was to find a friend with a sense of adventure
akin to mine. Enter, Dave Micklewright! A work colleague of almost 20
years, Dave and I have run many miles together, and now the Alps to
Venice in a short 1100 miles!! 19 to 31 May, 2012. Thanks for your
support Dave(&Sue).... Maria wouldn't let me do it on my own!
