Greetings!

Two weeks to go to the Berlin Marathon; cheers to those who have already sponsored me!

Thats me, on the left, smiling  at the start of the Barcelona Marathon March 08 before collapsing at the end.  My partner failed  to capture me staggering across the finishing  line as she was too busy capturing a bottle of Rioja.... Only kidding! It was my  zig zag approach...the Rioja came later.

 I ran for my benefit (?) But this time  I thought  if there's  going to be  pain in Berlin,  why not try and  make some material gain  and  run for a worthy cause:  Cerebral Palsy Sport.           

CP Sport doesn't   receive Government or Big Lottery Funding and so works extremely hard raising  vital funds needed to continue making a difference to the lives of hundreds of people who rely on the charity's services.

The sports, which the  organisation  offer, include Athletics, Boccia, Bowls, Cycling, Football, Power-lifting, Swimming and Table Tennis.

I hope you agree it's a worthy fund raising cause  to donate to . It would ease my pain considerably!  

Here's to Berlin...and a large beer at the end of it....or two! 

cheers!

(If I  do not complete the marathon, you have made a donation  and you would like a refund you will need to contact the charity directly and ask them to send 'Just Giving' a written refund request.)
