New York City Marathon · 23 July 2012

AFK is a disability and neurodiversity charity providing support to children and young people across the UK. We assist young people in accessing specialised mobility equipment that isn't available on the NHS and routes to paid employment in an effort to close the disability employment gap.

Story

Hello. Thanks for taking the time to visit my just giving page.

 

In November this year I'm having another shot at running the New York City Marathon.  Its one of the worlds largest marathons which sees around 45,000 runners course through all five boroughs of New York City, finishing in Central Park in Manhattan.  I'll be running to raise money for Action for Kids.

 

Action for Kids transform lives by helping disabled young people take steps towards independent living. They do this by providing mobility equipment, aid and support and as well as providing services like work related programmes and accredited Independent living skills, they help all physically and mentally disabled young people live fuller lives. Im sure you agree It's a fantastic cause. So please donate anything you can spare.

 

Im aiming to finish the race in under 3 hours.. a massive personal challenge for me. My previous time in New York was 3hrs 36 mins. It's gonna be tough but i'll give it my best shot! 

 

As many of you will know me and Dave Liddell are running the marathon for the same charity. If you know both of us don't worry if you have sponsored one Dave and not the other! We aren't comparing and anyone who spares their time to donate to either of us it is greatly appreciated!

 

Many thanks in advance! David x
