Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've always wanted to travel to England, London in particular. For those that know me, History and Marathons (or a half in this case), are extremely important to me. Once I decided to travel to London, I immediately looked for a run. Lucky for me, there was this one the same weekend! Unfortunately, it was sold out...

Through a little bit of research, I found that UK charities buy spots for marathons that can be purchased with a pledge for donations. Great, I get to run in London AND help people. What a fantastic way to show just how friendly we Texans are.

For those of you that do not know me well, I started caring about fitness in 2000 as a 305 pound college sophomore. I started working out, then running a little, then I started running a lot. I've battled weight (thanks BBQ) and asthma to compete (I mean complete) 7 marathons and countless half marathons. By donating to my page, your helping a past fat kid that loves helping others accomplish one of his dreams of running an event in London. It's my goal to get a medal from the UK, Rome, and the site of the first marathon...Athens.

For those of you I work with, you know that I am curently striving to qualify for Boston 2013! All you have to do is look at my computer to see the finish line on both screens!

Your donation goes straight to charity, I want to be clear that I get nothing from this other than the 45 pound entrance fee covered. I'm sure I left something out, but thank you for looking at the page.-
