Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My story and reasons why.

In May this year I decided to enter the London marathon, my reasons are many but  the main reason is to complete a life time goal!

I then decided to run for a charity as this has two effects:

1- Its for a good cause and I am helping other people less fortunate than myself.

2- Its a great motivator as I have committed to raise money for my chosen charity in return for a  a place in this years marathon.

I will be raising money for a lesser known charity called Get Kids Going(http://www.getkidsgoing.com/). They help purchase equipment for disabled children and get them into sports! I felt this was a great charity to support, so I have pledged to raise over £2000!!!!

When I started back in training back in June 2010 I was over 19st!!!!. Since then I have lost nearly 4St and its still dropping off!

I have completed 2 10k races(best time 51mins 5 secs) and 1 Half Marathon(this Jan 1hr 51mins). I am traing 5-6 times a week and run between 30 -40 miles per week, and I love it!

So far I have not suffered and injury or lost the drive to carry on. I will do this but need all the support I can muster from family and friends and anyone else willing to help.

Please support me and this fantastic charity-given generously.!!!

Thanks for reading my blurb and thanks for the support!!
