On 3rd October 2021 I shall be taking part in the London Marathon, having been delayed from April 2020 due to covid. My trainings been some what slap dash to say the least in that time but I’m most certainly trying my best for the best lad I ever knew 

If you could spare a few pound it would be extremely appreciated. I won’t continue to do chary events year on year after this as I understand there are many other charitable cause close to people hearts. However I will always keep my brother’s name alive in any means possible, and I’ll sort another walk again for George’s 30th next august,, no money to be raised this time around but a great day and night will be had I’m sure!

I’ve never ran a marathon before in my life so it is some what daunting as well as exciting. . As George would say “You’ve no chance you lad”. And he’d certainly say I’d “Lost my head” for doing it after he watched the Four Lions London Marathon scene.

To run the London Marathon in my brothers honour will mean an awful lot to me and I’m sure will be a highly emotional experience on the day both physically and mentally.

I am doing it for Crohn’s & Colitis UK as this charity means an awful lot to my family and many others. I can never explain what George went through with his Ulcerative Colitis, it would certainly reduce anybody to tears, it was truly cruel and awful how badly and for so many years my brother suffered. There are many other family’s going through similar situations and helping them in any way I can means the world to me and my family. Particular by way of mental health support for those suffering.

George and myself competed in annual beach races every single year of our holidays growing up. George was quick out the blocks but I think he only won twice, me or my Dad in our early years would pip him at the finish resulting in an almighty scrap year on year. I won’t promise to win this one George (them Kenyan’s are quick) but I will promise to put everything I’ve got into getting around there with your name on my back and your memories, guts and bravery in my mind and heart.

For my brothers, always
