<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>At the tender age of 37&nbsp;I have decided to have a pop at the London Marathon with my good friend Michael Hardman. The clincher for me was being introduced to the Charity who have kindly&nbsp;given me this very special opportunity.</p> <p>The Calvert Trust enables people with disabilities, together with their families and friends, to achieve their potential through the challenge of outdoor adventure in the countryside.</p> <p>Founded in 1978, Calvert Trust is the inspiration of John Fryer-Speddng, whose vision was to enable people with disabilities to benefit from outdoor activities in the countryside.</p> <p>Despite Harold McMillan claiming that &ldquo;the National Parks are for all people for all time&rdquo; in 1951 when the first Park was opened, John Fryer-Spedding realised this was not quite true and that a lack of accessible facilities restricted people with disabilities from truly enjoying our beautiful countryside and benefiting from outdoor activity.</p> <p>So, please give generously and if anything you can laugh at a blad Mancunian trying to drag himself 26 miles around the street of London.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for your kind generosity.
