Greetings! Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of my friends, business partners and clients know, my family has been deeply affected by cancer over the past 18 months. The courage and bravery I have witnessed has not only inspired me to run the marathon, but has also made me realise that if you truly believe in something- it can happen.

With that in mind I will be running my first ever marathon, with the aim of raising over £2,000 for my chosen charity. By taking on this challenge, both running and fund raising, I hope to inspire those close my family and I, to help me. 

I have decided to support 'Children with Cancer UK'. (http://www.childrenwithcancer.org.uk/) They receive no government funding and rely solely on public donations. Their aim is to determine the causes, find cures and provide care for children with cancer.

I am a proud man. I am not one to hold my hand out and ask for help. But in this instance I am. If you can donate anything for my cause I would appreciate it. My commitment to run the marathon is not just for me and my family, but is also for all of those that have suffered at the hands of cancer.

I can promise you all something, I will finish the race, even if it means dragging myself over the line. Then the first, much needed round, is on me!
