<p><strong>Thank you for taking the time to read this and hopefully for donating.</strong></p> <p>On April 29th this year I will be attempting to complete&nbsp;the Milton Keynes&nbsp;Marathon in under 3 hours 30 minutes. Ok, it isn't world record pace, but for an amateur like me I will be pushing myself to the limit.</p> <p>I have been training hard since October last year and at the moment feel like I am on course to do it!!</p> <p><strong>My reasons for running the Marathon in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust&nbsp;are simple:</strong></p> <p>- As a young teenager, I suffered from Hodgkins Disease now known as Hodgkins Lymphoma, which is a fairly common type of cancer.</p> <p>- The Teenage Cancer Trust provides specialist treatment for young people,&nbsp;many who are in the same position as I was, if not worse, to&nbsp;help them through life changing experiences such as this</p> <p>- Early in January this year, I lost my Grandad to cancer, a great man, who I know is willing me on</p> <p>- Lastly, I love running and the thought of pushing myself to my physical limit intrigues me!!! I am not just going to finish, I am going to finish in the fastest time possible</p> <p><strong>Keep Up to Date </strong></p> <p>I do regular blogs and videos letting you know how my training is going and updating you on the fundraising targets. These can all be viewed at <a href="http://www.recklesstimes.co.uk">www.recklesstimes.co.uk</a></p> <p><strong>I am living proof that the Teenage Cancer Trust and other charities like them do great things for young people, any support you can give would be greatly appreciated</strong></p> <p><strong>Andy</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
