My story
Hello all,
Thank you for checking out my page. During 2011 I started running marathons for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, attempting to run 52 official marathons throughout the year. I'm doing this for the hospital because in 2005 I was serving with the British Army out in Basra, Iraq and unfortunately got injured. January 2010 saw the last of my operations.
Now I've decided I can give a little more and have now extended my challenge to run 100 official marathons between 2011 - 2012.
To make everything a little more challenging I have joined the charity 'Walking With The Wounded', an organisation which helps retrain and reintergrate injured soldiers for future life outside the military. So with WWTW I will be climbing some iconic mountains between the marathons
To all the staff who work, or have worked on the Burns Unit during my time there, I thank you. This one's for you.
Karl
