Hello eveyone! Thanks for visiting this site. I suppose you deserve an explanation....

I think I'm having an early mid-life crises.The big THREE OH is looming on the horizon and it's making me do weird things. The weirdest of these being to make a New Years Resolution to run the New York marathon (Note to self - next year I'm gonna wait til I'm sober to make my resolutions)

Anyone who knows me will know that once I've set my mind to do something, wild horses don't even bother trying to dissuade me. So no matter how much my legs hurt after I've been jogging (and they do!) I'm determined I'm going to do this! The foot is down! The heels are dug in! 

And all you guys have to do is sponsor me

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Get Kids Going! 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! Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on (It works for Father Ted's tea lady. Thought I'd give it a go)

Thank you very much for all your kind donations! The more you donate, the more likely you are to get into Heaven (I think that's how it works)

Lots of Love

OK - Update

It is now Wednesday 7th November, I'm feeling rather proud of myself, and I can move my legs again without fearing that the tendons at the back of my knees are going to snap - which is a good thing. The golf ball sized blisters on the instep of each foot are still causing problems though!

It was, however, absolutely worth it! I had a great time and got to see a lot more of New York (in 5 hours, 51 minutes, and 39 seconds) than most people do in a week. Having said that, don't think I'll be doing another one! Been there, done that, got the T-shirt .... and the medal .... and bragging rights in the pub for the next forever!!

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me, and a special thanks to Steve, who has been doing a great job of bath running, leg rubbing, and general pampering.
