Hello to everyone - Thanks for taking the time for visiting my fundraising page!

Despite having vowed after the London marathon 2009 that I would never do another one again...I have for some bizarre reason, decided to run TWO MARATHONS in THREE WEEKS (both Amsterdam and New York) in order to raise as much money as I can for a great chrildrens' charity called Get Kids Going!

Get Kids Going is a national charity which gives disabled children and young people the wonderful opportunity of participating in sport. They help promote sports for disabled children by providing them with specially built sports’ wheelchairs so they can do marathons, triathlons, tennis, athletics, skiing, rugby, basketball etc. Get Kids Going also helps and encourages British disabled children to compete by supporting them with their sports; training, physiotherapy, travel, design and development of sports’ wheelchairs. Get Kids Going also provides personalised manual wheelchairs and trikes for children to use every day; at home, at school, and to enable them to play with their friends as they believe that all disabled children and young people should receive the right equipment to get them going and they support children with all disabilities and make sure that any equipment which is out grown is recycled to other children, so supporters’ valuable donations are never wasted.

Please check out the below video link to see some wonderful examples of how my silly little legs and your hard earned pounds can make such an amazing difference to so many young peoples lives.

So with that in mind...my side of the bargain: On October 17th run the Amsterdam marathon and then three weeks later, on November 7th run the New York marathon...your side of the bargain: Donate your hard earned cash to help support me in raising as much money as possible for this wonderful and worthwhile charity. Now, I know its not quite the same effort as the amazing Eddie Izzard, but it is still quite a big ask for a fat lad who still drinks far too much booze!!!!
