Story

Hello

Firstly, thank you for visiting my sponsorship page, I hope you will read on to find out what its all about.On 15th April 2012, I will be completing my first marathon, the Paris Marathon! Without knowing what its like to run such a distance, my first aim is to complete the course with my second aim to finish within 4 hours 30 minutes.

 

Training will include living a party free life for 3 and half months - that surely deserves a donation ;-)

It is clearly a life time achievement to complete such an event and appreciate that I am lucky to have been given this opportunity. It is also a great honour in itself to support the GB Paralympic team.

I'm hoping to raising more than £1000 for ParalympicsGB!


ParalympicsGB is an incredible charity – they are just a team of 23 people - so hopefully that reassures you that the money raised doesn’t go to marketing campaigns or TV adverts but for supporting people with disability to compete in sports across Great Britain.


The great news is that as I’m raising money for our company charity partner, every bit of money is matched pound for pound.


So please be give what you can – your money truly makes a difference and also helps to inspire me when I’m training in and around Exeter come rain or shine...oh yeah, and the freezing cold!
