Story

Hi Guys!

I started getting into fitness again in November last year and in the past 5 months have become addicted to exercising, mainly working out with the Forces Fit crew on an evening. However I seemed to have developed a passion for running. At the moment I am not too confident with long distance, therefore to help me improve I have decided to enter myself, along with one of my Forces Fit buddies, Damien, into the Great North Run Half Marathon in September this year. This will be extremely tough training for me and a massive achievement for me to run the distance on the day. 

I am also running to raise money for When You Wish Upon a Star, a charity whose primary aim is to grant the wishes of children suffering from life threstening illnesses. So dig deep guys!! 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Let the training begin!! 4 Months to get mega fit!!!
