Great South Run - Yes, Me!!!

Hi everyone, Ive been using MFP for about 6 months and find it so useful, moreso than any diet plan. Since using it I have been excercising by first walking, and lately jogging. I am enjoying it very much and have entered the Great South Run in October. As a truck driver I lead a sedentary life but have found out how good it feels for me to get off my back side and do something instead of browsing the web and watching TV ( I still do that too!!)

I have decided to run in support of MacMillan Cancer Support, a charity that is very close to me, as they are currently providing care and support to my step sister who, 2 years ago, was disgnosed with inoperable ovarian cancer and is slowly dying. I cant do anything for her, but I can help MacMillan in a small way to help people like her.

I dont beleive in spamming people with request for help, but this is all close to my reasons for doing what I'm doing, and thus far, the support and encouragement I have had from people on here has been inspiring to say the least.

If any of you want to give me some extra encouragement, and at the same time, help this worthy cause, please donate a small amount, to www.justgiving.com/JEFFREY-CLARK

Thanks for reading, and thanks to MFP for continuing to help me get healthier, and HAPPIER!!
