Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. (For those of you returning, welcome back! ;o))

Now that I have (almost) recovered from my tortuous invasion of France 9 months ago, 2012 sees me attempt another feat of physical madness for charity. In early July, I shall attempt to run around the streets of London whilst dressed as a video game character.

"Are you havin' a laugh?" I hear you cry.

"You can't even run a bath!" You jest.

This is true, which is why I shall be limiting my run to the British 10k and not a marathon! I may slightly unhinged, but I am not stupid. ;o)

I know it might not seem possible but I am even worse at running than I am at cycling. However it's my philosphy to not do charity events that are easily within my abilities but to do ones that are "slightly" beyond them. This way everyone donates to see me suffer before, during and after, right?

No? Oh yeah, that's right, it's to show your support for the great and dedicated work that the UK charity SpecialEffect do to bring gaming and other creative interests to people who would otherwise be left out. Something very close to my heart.


Please donate what you can, no amount is too small, it all adds up.

Love, peace and elbow grease.

PS. If anyone has some carbon fiber knees that I could borrow for a month or two that would be most welcome!
