Today is my 40th birthday and I'm dedicating the miles to the memory of my parents; Margery and Terry Allison. I know they would have been incredibly proud of this run across the USA which is a huge reason for doing what I do.
I've been reading through a lot of birthday cards and was very surprised to receive one from Alan Shearer. Brilliant!
Now what do you get the man who has everything for his birthday, I hear you ask. How about a donation to one of the 2 charities I'm running across the USA to raise funds for; St Benedict's Hospice and The Children's Foundation. You could even leave a Happy Birthday message on the justgiving page.
If you would like to sponsor my run then donations can be made in a number of ways. www.justgiving.com have introduced a brilliant new free donation method. Did you know that you can now donate to the 2 charities using your mobile phone?
