My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: National Blind Childrens Society 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.

Training Update: 

As many of you already know, the last few months have been blighted with injury for me, which culminated in a MRA scan recently to check for any stress fracture to my left tibiae.  Whilst this appeared to be negative, I do have bruising to the bone which is greatly restricting the amount of training I can do.

However, I did manage to complete a 20 mile training run on Sunday the 12th of April in not too much pain (although stopping a few times along the way) so am still confident that I'll be able to run, albeit in a much slower time than I had originally envisaged. 

The last few months really have been a rollercoaster of emotions, "will I be able to run?, won't I"? and I now understand what people mean when they say that the hardest thing about running a marathon is getting yourself to the starting line.  It is so true!

Chris.
