My story

Thank you for reading my page.

I am lucky enough to be running the marathon to raise money for a fantastic cause - the Art Room.

http://www.theartroom.org.uk/

This will be my first marathon, aged 40, pretty much the definition of a mid life crisis - happily this will be a crisis genuinely put to good use if you are generous and kind enough add a donation.

I am aiming to finish in 3hr 30mins, and donation-based "encouragements" will spur me to beat this time line.   

My updates 7

3.54.07 the final count - 1.45.01 half way
