Story

<p>After a gruelling, and rather painful experience a couple years ago I have ignored all common sense, Doctor's advice that&nbsp;I was not built to run a marathon, and have signed up for another 26 miles of fun.</p> <p>Yes, I have decided to give the London Marathon another go, and have been&nbsp;spending my weekends&nbsp;putting in the miles so that this one won't hurt as much as the last, hopefully.</p> <p>I have decided to run for an amazing charty giving young kids, who are far less fortunate than ourselves, the opportunity to get off the streets and discover the joy of sport. Charterhouse in Southwark works&nbsp;in one of the poorest areas of London to provide street children with a roof over their heads, a&nbsp;good&nbsp;meal, and the chance to play team sport.&nbsp;</p> <p>Please dig deep and help me raise money for this very worthy cause, and one which is close to my heart.</p> <p>Thank you, and I hope to see you on route on the 22nd April.</p>
