Story

After being on holiday and in need of inspiration I read James Cracknell's books one about the North Pole and the other explaining details of him being in the Olympic team. While sat in the Sun, I thought it must be time for me to do something, I have done challenge races in the past but nothing sustained, over a duration of time.

To break the mould, I first got accepted for the London Marathon, through Charity, the same one I have done all my previous races for but to make you feel worth while for spornsoring me, I have decided to go over and above the call of duty.

As I write this page I seem to have injuries after injuries but will make it round all my challenges just to prove the doubters wrong.

Please bear in mind I am paying for all these events out of my own pocket

Thanks for taking the time to read the page and hopefully you will understand the importance of the Charity and why I want to help them.
