My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page, your support and generosity is greatly appreciated.

Well I made it accross the finish line in Central Park in 3hrs 52mins and 10secs which I am really pleased with as it was pretty tough on the day!

Its certainly been an intense few months clocking up over 450 miles running around London training capped off with the big run around New York.

My friend Carl who trained with me also completed the race in great time and together with your help we have raised in excess of £13,500 for Barnardos which is fanatastic.

If you were waiting to make sure we finished or just never got around to donating there is still time so please log in today and your donation will be greatly recieved.

Donating through Just giving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Barnardo's gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thanks again to everyone who has been invloved as it has been a great experience for a great cause.
