<p>Thank you for visiting my page!</p> <p>Around mid-September this year&nbsp;my naivety got the better of me and I put my name down for the Dorset Ultra-Marathon. In a couple of weeks time on December 3rd, after numerous long runs around Hyde Park, regular&nbsp;'Spinning&nbsp;classes' in the gym, and even a few sessions on the wretched ergo (rowing machine)&nbsp;I will be attempting to complete the 33-Mile Ultra along the Juarrassic coast. I will be climbing&nbsp;the highest peaks on the&nbsp;South Coast, with ascents amounting to&nbsp;a total of over 6,200 ft, over 1.5 times the height of Ben Nevis. I&nbsp;will be running&nbsp;through&nbsp;mud,&nbsp;in marshes, scree and along bare rock, and hope to scramble over the line within about 5 hours.(The route has never 'officially' been completed before but the&nbsp;'Ultra' winner is expected to go over around the 4 hr mark!)</p> <p>I will be running for a Charity called Look Ahead,&nbsp;who I am working for at the weekends.</p> <p>Look Ahead specialise in&nbsp; providing society's most vulnerable with high quality care, accomodation and suppourt services to&nbsp;get them back on track and start living life independantly.</p> <p>Your donation will help former alcoholics, drug addicts, young offender's, the mentally ill, the disabled, the elderly and plenty more of society's most challenged receive the care and guidance that they have so often been deprived of in their earlier years, get on track and start living life like one of us.</p> <p>I have not put a 'target' on my page for the amount I am hopeing to raise as anything is a bonus. I am aware that so many of us and saving up before the Christmas spending begins.</p> <p><strong>IF</strong> anyone does have a spare &pound;5 lying around, it really would go a huge way in helping our country's most deprived receive the care and guidance they need.</p> <p>Huge thanks and hope to see you soon!</p> <p>Archie</p> <p><a href="http://www.lookahead.org.uk/default.aspx?CATID=6304">http://www.lookahead.org.uk/default.aspx?CATID=6304</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.endurancelife.com/event.asp?series=54&amp;amp;amp;location=127">http://www.endurancelife.com/event.asp?series=54&amp;location=127</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
