<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Due to eveyone's superb generosity I have already exceeded my original target of &pound;350. So I've set a new target of &pound;500.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The support really does mean alot.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As most of you will be aware I have completed a few endurance events over the last couple of years, including a couple of marathons.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Apparently though none of this was painful enough, and on the 30th April I will find myself at the start of the "Highland Fling"; which is a 53 mile, multi terrain, ultra run along the West Highland Way, from Milngavie to Tyndrum. Mostly run on trails, forest tracks or farm roads, only about 4 miles are run on tarmac, with a 13 hour time limit. <a href="http://www.highlandflingrace.org/">http://www.highlandflingrace.org/</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I am running to raise money for Endometriosis UK, as a close family member has had her life turned upside down by this condition and has used the services of this charity, who are committed to providing much-needed support and information for anyone affected by this common, but often unheard of, disease.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I realise that we are in the middle of a recession and that things are tight financially at the moment, but any sponsorship would be gratefully recieved and will go a long way to motivating me during the tougher parts of the race.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh and if you get the chance; say a wee prayer for the sun to go away!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Much appreciated</p> <p>Richard</p>
