Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you may have previously known, I am running the 2013 Virgin London Marathon. It's something I've always wanted to do and after watching 'Run Fat Boy Run' one lazy Sunday afternoon I decided to apply. 5 months down line, I got accepted. Shit.

I have already began my strict training regime and I am very motivated to complete it in sub 4 hours. I have decided to run for the charity 'Tommys' not only because I can save money on buying running attire, but because it truly is a magnificent cause. Since becoming an Uncle recently its made me feel as though charities for miscarriages, still births and babies in general are often overlooked. Well, I've certainly never donated to Baby Charity previously, have you....? I'm sure over the winter months the training is going to become tougher and the pub will become a lot more appealing, however seeing the money come in will really help to keep me motivated!

Thanks for reading and any donations no matter how small will be greatly received.

All the boring stuff is below.
