My story

Hello All

As you may be aware I will be demonstrating my alpha male credentials at the London Marathon on Sun 13^th April.
This is my first and maybe my lastMarathon (if the way I feel in training is anything to go by)

Anyway I have decided to run for Carers UK.
Carers do a jolly good job helping out those wonderful unpaid carers who look after the ill, frail or disabled family member, friend or partner.
Carers give so much to society yet as a consequence of caring, they experience ill health, poverty and discrimination.

More Info at http://www.carersuk.org/Home

My brother has kicked of the proceedings very kindly my offering a great sum of money if I substantially beat his Marathon time…not expecting that to be too hard (sorry Rich you did actually great job finishing, something I have not done yet so I won’t get too cocky just yet)

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Carers UK 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!

Many thanks for your support.
