April 2010 saw my 40th birthday. In an attempt to convince myself that I'm neither too old nor too fat, I set out to run two marathons - London and New York - for my chosen charity. KIDS provides a wide range of support and services to 6,000 disabled children, young people and their families each year. They work with any disabled child or young person, irrespective of their impairment or condition, helping them to grow, develop and enjoy their childhood, whilst supporting their families to enable this to happen.
London was successfully completed on 25 April despite an unpleasant hip injury, in a time of 3:58:28, around 30 minutes slower than I had originally planned. Thank you to everyone who supported me!
New York is still to come, on 7 November - very close now. I will be running (or more likely walking) dressed as Superman, so look out for the fat bloke at the back in a red cape.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
