Story

<p>This year I am returning to athletics (Hammer Throw)&nbsp;9 years after a serious knee injury that required a major operation.&nbsp; Its also been 16 years since I last threw competitively and when I set my personal best of 59.68 metres.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">THE 50m CHALLENGE</span></strong></p> <p>I have set myself a very&nbsp;ambitious challenge;&nbsp;to throw a 16lb (7.26kg) athletics hammer&nbsp;50 metres by the end of summer 2012.&nbsp; This type of distance would <em><strong>hopefully </strong></em>get me close to being inside the top sixty in the UK Rankings for 2012.</p> <p>Please show your support.. Ive lost almost 2 stone in weight by&nbsp;cutting down on many of lifes pleasures.&nbsp; Im also discovering muscles that havent worked in years!</p> <p>You can donate via this page or text your support.</p> <p>Simply text the following to <strong>70070</strong>:</p> <p><strong>HMMR50</strong></p> <p><strong>&pound;1</strong></p> <p><em><strong>(You can replace the &pound;1 with &pound;2, &pound;3, &pound;4, &pound;5 or &pound;10 if you wish)</strong></em></p> <p>If you would also/rather donate to Cancer Research, I am also fund raising for them here:</p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.justgiving.com/Hammer-Cancer">http://www.justgiving.com/Hammer-Cancer</a></strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>I threw 47.20m at my first competition on May 5th 2012 at Cheltenham</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>My last attempt is likely to be September 15th 2012 at Portsmouth.</strong></span></p>
