Our personal message:

Finished in 4.36 - Not gunna break any records but personally with only 9 weeks notice/training I don't think it's that bad!! Thanks to everyone who has sponsered me and for those that haven't yet there's still time........

Now you have got here you probably know I'll be running the Flora London Marathon on April 13th. I only found out I had a place a few weeks  ago so the training schedule is a little shorter than usual but playing the "blind optimism" card I hoping all will be well!! 

I'll be running for the Stroke Association. As some of you know my father has suffered from three strokes, the last of which left him with a condition called aphasia. The effects of stroke can be devastating, not only on the victim, but on their families too. Anything that can be done to reduce strokes or help those affected by stroke gets a great big tick in my book !!

So please please please dig deep and then have a great big chuckle to yourself on the day!   Your wallet may be a little lighter but it's for a fantastic cause and the pain I'll be going through  , while I attempt to drag my body round 26.2 miles, will make every £ you have donated seem like some of the best money you have ever spent!! 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Stroke Association 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.
