Story

<p>So, I am doing the 26 mile London Marathon on 22nd April 2012 ... sounds easy... but for me... not so much.</p> <p>It's Thursday 16th February 2012 and I started training 3 days ago! Why have&nbsp;I left it so late?&nbsp;Well...&nbsp;I was in A&amp;E with a&nbsp;suspected ankle fracture picked up while playing football back in October 2011 (put that violin away please) I have been unable to do any excercise apart from 2 football training sessions and 2 matches last month (the 2nd match I twisted the other ankle, hence why I am starting now... not great). But I am back on the road and completed my 2nd 3.3 mile run on Tuesday (that's all I could handle!). So I am sitting here, legs still in agony, asking for some help and support for a truely fantastic Charity!</p> <p>I hope you will all agree I have quite a mountain to climb ahead, so please give generously for this great cause!</p> <p>Thankyou so much for all your support and time taken to visit my page !!!</p> <p>Nick x</p> <p>PS - "Official bit" - Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
