My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After completing the Great North Run in sub 2 hours and feeling great afterwards I decided that I needed another challenge!  So I decided to apply for the 2012 London Marathon. I was successful and I will be running for Henshaws College for the Blind in Harrogate.  So look out for me pounding the streets of Harrogate over the next few months.  I was delighted and overwelmed with the support that friends, family and colleagues gave me for the Great North Run and I'm hoping that I count on you again for this great cause.

Many Thanks

Simon

Training is going well and I'm well up for this huge challenge now, what I now need is for the sponsor money to start flooding in so that I can raise as much as I can for Henshaws Society for the Blind, so please dig deep guys and help me on my way. Cheers SJC
