Ello peeps,

I've bored some of you all already about my intended plan. For those that I have not bored here it comes!

In April 2010 I will be running the Brighton Marathon in aid of the Male Cancer Awareness Campaign.

I've been allocated a guaranteed place for Brighton Marathon on the 18th April 2010 so I've been pounding the streets of towns between Brighton and Lancing already in preparation.

Now comes the twist that I am hoping is going to increase the sponsorship drive. If you are not familiar with the Male Cancer Awareness Campaign then you are also unlikely to have ever seen their mascot called Mr Testicles.  With a name like Mr Testicles you can well imagine what he looks like, yep a 3 foot tall foam testicle! This is what I will be running the Marathon wearing, a giant testicle. You need to see him for yourself though as I cannot do him justice in words alone.

I’m not expecting the marathon to be easy but I’m hoping the numerous sporting activities I currently do will assist me along the way. I’m hoping for a finish time of under 5 hours! The training has started and I’m ahead of progress so fingers crossed but rest assumed I’ll keep you updated with my progress. 

 

I will be running the Brighton 10k on November 15th whilst wearing the testicle suit to try and gauge how difficult it's going to be. Pop down, say hello and be proud to be supporting a giant testicle.

Anyway, on a more serious note, any guys reading I strongly advise you to check out the work the charity have done. The website is http://www.malecancer.net/

 

Please please dig deep and donate what ever you can. Just remember I'll sponsor you when you next do something crazy!

For those on Facebook we have a group setup for you all to come and join, all are welcome so stop in and say hello

Thanks so much everyone

Update 12th November

I've decided that running the Brighton 10k and the Brighton Half Marathon as well gives me more of a challenge so as of now my I'm training for a 10k, Half Marathon and Marathon. That means you have to dig even deeper now.
