Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>The race has been run! I have never suffered so much in my life but I managed to finish it in 04:06:12, I think my dad would have been proud.</p> <p>Once again I am raising money for the British Lung Foundation in memory of my dad. This time it is something a bit more difficult...the London Marathon! To say I am a bit scared is an understatement, but I'm sure I'll make it - I hope so anyway!!</p> <p>To get myself ready for this, as well as loads of training, I will also be running numerous races beforehand. So far I am doing...</p> <p>Stamford 30km - 13th February - DONE! Hardest thing I have ever done, 3:03:05</p> <p>Silverstone Half Marathon - 6th March - DONE! 1:49:22</p> <p>Grantham Half Marathon - 20th March - DONE! A new personal best of 1:46:32</p> <p>and after London is done, I will once again be tackling Sheffield Half Marathon on 8th May. I also ran 3 half marathons and 5 10km races last year so as you can see I am taking this very seriously so please sponsor me and help me reach my target!</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
