<p>My Dad, the farmer better known as 'JP' continues to be the strongest man I know.</p> <p>After a heart by-pass, a stroke (leaving him with the use of one of his arms) and, more recently having both legs amuptated above the knee, he is still upbeat and positive.</p> <p>Sure, it is difficult for us all to come to terms with but we all thank the help he has received to allow him to now be back at home on the farm he was born.</p> <p>With no previous interest, but inspired by his positivity, I have been running, running and running for the last six months - at first worn by a short run, then moving onto 3 miles, 6 miles, 8.5 miles and then 10 miles, I want to keep running in an attempt to support the charities who have supported my Dad - and am aiming to complete the Leicester Half Marathon on 9/10/11 - to which I hope you will sponsor me!</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
