My story

What can I say?I

I hit my Christmas target  - £100,000 for children's charity Brathay Trust.. And I did it only because of your kindness.

In May 2012 I completed the Brathay Challenge - 10 marathons in 10 days around the glorious Lake Windermere - a glorious 262 miles for a wonderful charity Brathay that helps vulnerable and disadvantaged young kids get back on their feet.

I completed all 10 marathons under five hours - between the times of 4.31 (last day!) and 4.51 - despite sore quads, tight hamstrings, multiple chaffings and hot knees.

To all who have donated a big thank you.
