Hi This is my grandson Brody who was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2013 when he was 2 yrs old. Many of you will know I started running because of a promise I made to Brody in 2014. He is responding well to treatment but the side effects of the drugs are awful.
I am trying to raise £300 ( £100 for every year of Brody's treatment) Every £ I raise will help the NCCR to find cures and reduce side effects of the treatment for children's cancers.
I find fundraising difficult so thought I would try something different. I'm asking you to guess the time it will take me to run The Great North Run (13.1 miles ) on Sept 13th. Please choose a time between 2h 15m 00s and 2h 50m 00s.
If you live outside Edinburgh area I'll send you a pair of running socks if your guess is the closest. Or you can choose Massage / beauty treatment if you live in Edinburgh. So if you can spare a couple of £s I would be so grateful.
Please donate at justgiving.com/Rona-Great-N... or txt £amount and code RGNR48 to 70070.
Thank you Rona

What a clever idea Rona, and an absolutely gorgeous picture of Brody - I will be back to sponsor you as ever, you do a great job raising funds for this worthwhile cause. Do I put my guess on this thread or on my donation comment on your fundraising page?
