Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.



On the 25th of May I will be leaving Gloucester and running the 156 mile to Colchester ,THAT'S 6 MARATHONS IN 3 DAYS  to join a group of cyclists on the now annual 50 mile 'Kev's Ride' on Saturday the 28th of May to raise money for Help for Heroes.

I will be joined by one of my oldest friends Matthew Jeffery for the first 50 miles of the run and have my wonderful wife Becca(in a car) and Brother in law Gary McCreery(on a bike) in support.

Leading the group in Colchester and joining me for the last 10 miles of the run will be super H4H fundraiser Mike Jackson who has raised over £133,000 for H4H and is also father in law of a very,very dear friend, Kevin Fortuna.
