My story
All finished, really pleased, we jogged all the way, 4 hours 54 mins. Can't quite believe it!!
Many thanks to all our sponsors and supporters without whom I'm sure we would have struggled.
In a moment of madness I decided with my best friend Rob to get fit and run the Brighton Marathon, having not trained or kept myself fit for a few years since retiring from playing rugby, also I was concerned that it would soon be more difficult to see my feet so this seemed an excellent idea. I would like to thank the Limbless Association for giving me the opportunity of running and I am delighted that I will hopefully be able to raise some money for this excellent charity helping all people with limb loss.
I will be 43 years old when I run the Brighton marathon, 11 years after I completed my only other Marathon in London. I am married to Jessica we have 3 daughters and a granddaughter. Still live in my home town of Brighton and I help run a business near Gatwick servicing and supplying Multifunctional Printers and Photocopiers.
Perhaps I should carry an odd shaped ball with me?
Many thanks for visiting my page and I do hope you can support me, in my moment of madness, and the Limbless Association.

The Limbless Association provides information and support to the limb-loss community. They aim to support people of all ages and backgrounds through a variety of existing programs and services.
They offer support to individuals of any age, whether they are about to have an amputation or are already living with congenital or acquired limb-loss and we offer assistance and information to carers, family members and friends if they require it. We support both the civilian and military population and work closely with other UK Charities to provide the best overall service for each individual.
They provide a national association of friends and contemporaries through the Limbless Association membership system and provide a single, unified voice for the UK limb-loss community, creating a national union and alliance for UK prosthetic patients.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We aim to help these individuals through their own talents and initiatives to become active members of their communities. LA enables amputees achieve rehabilitation and sustain independence at home, employment and in the community. LA is the only charity for individuals with limb loss of all ages and backgrounds. We run many programs that are unique to our organisation such as a national helpline devoted to amputee issues; our Football+ Project run in conjunction with Chelsea FC Football in the Community, and our Outreach Program, which co-ordinates our prominent Volunteer Visitors Network.
