My story

 

 

Hi All

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. My chosen charity is Cystic Fibrosis Trust. The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the UK's only National Charity dedicated to all aspects of Cystic Fibrosis (CF).  It funds research to treat and cure CF and aims to ensure appropriate clinical care and support for people with Cystic Fibrosis.

I ran The Dartmoor Vale Half Marathon on the 15th October 2006 in a time of 2:08:28. but the main Challange is The Flora London Marathon on 22nd April 2007. I have been given a Golden Bond Place in The London Marathon which means I  have pledge to raise over £2000 for the CF Trust. I have started to sell items donated by some of my works suppliers on EBay so look out for them. They will be under the CF Trust Mission Fish logo. Have sold the a Dyson DC14 Vacuum, And a sign photo of Tony Blair PM, but coming up next a sign photo of David Tennant AKA Dr Who, and Wayne Rooney. 

As some of  you might know I was no athlete at school so this is a personal challange to run those 26.2 miles in hopefuly around 4 1/2 hours. So if you remember a tall weedy lad from school, he's now a tall fit bloke now but alot older.

The reason I chose this Charity is that my family have links to this incureable genetic condition through my cousin Danny. Dan is marrying Norma in July 07 in Scotland. and this is challange is to help raise money to say thank you to all the people at  The CF Trust.  For more information on CF please visit their web site www.cftrust.org.uk

Most of my training is on the roads & back lanes around Torbay in Devon. So if you see a lanky bloke in a yellow vest looking worn out its me, so give us a wave or a toot. It will be soon time to run the marathon so it back to the training and the fund raising.

Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cystic Fibrosis Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
