***************************************************************************************************
I'm a 40 year old bloke who is trying to raise over £10000 for Martin House Children's Hospice at Boston Spa, Near Wetherby. So far I have run both the Manchester and Edinburgh Marathons (52.4 miles ran only 4 weeks apart), fallen out of a perfectly good airplane from 15,000 feet and completed the Great North Run (13.1 miles).
In October I'll be running the York Marathon (26.2 miles) and have started going to a Mixed Martial Arts Gym to prepare for a gym session with UFC fighter, John Hathaway.
In addition, I had setup a very successful charity auction via the "Auction of Promises" website at http://auctionofpromises.com/i.aspx?a=yyddcyx and had some fantastic support from some great folks (and huge support from fighters and companies involved with the contact sports).
Following his win over John Maguire, I will shortly be training with the British Welterweight UFC fighter John Hathaway http://www.kimura.se/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/john-hathaway.jpg / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hathaway , thanks to John for helping me with this fundraising challenge (albeit, I am a little apprehensive, yet excited to get the opportunity to train with one of Britain's best UFC fighters).....
***WHY AM I DOING THIS?***

As some of you will know, in April 2011, I ran my first ever Marathon in an attempt to raise £5000 for Martin House. With everyone's kind donations, you all managed to help me get through it and we raised a total of £5092.18.... Thank you again to everyone who had helped me reach my goal for such great charity.
Please help motivate me by sparing a few bob towards a local charity that provide so much support and help to the poor unfortunate children who are suffering with a terminal illness, and their families who have to cope through these extremely difficult times.
