Well here we go again - the annual application to the greatest race in the world. Well not exactly a race in my case, more of an endurance event for "fat old men !!"

Big surprise - I have got in and as last time I completed the event I got passed by two wombles and a rhino, I am determined to up the ante this time and break 4 hours 30 mins.

I am a keen rugby fan and have seen the excellent work this charity undertakes (http://www.woodenspoon.com/) - So any support you can give to this worthy cause will be really appreciated.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page and please dig deep and sponsor me online.

You will see that donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Wooden Spoon Society 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 and my kindest regards

Gareth
