Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
I will be running the 2009 London Marathon in aid of my chosen charity WellChild. Wellchild supports sick children and their families. Further information about WellChild can be found at www.wellchild.org.uk .
My training has already begun this October, and will start properly after 2nd January 2009. In January, training will consist of 6 training days a week - 5 days running 5 miles, and the sixth starting at 5 miles increasing to 13 miles. A final big run to the tune of 18/19 miles 3 weeks before the marathon proper, then a few light runs to keep me going.
I have no background to long-distance running apart from my school days - over 25 years ago!! This will be a big test, but one I look forward to. My experience with hill walking the Welsh 3000's, the Himalayas, Offas Dyke and various other challenges, will put me in good stead endurance-wise.
Please be kind enough to sponsor me - small amounts welcome as well as larger amounts (preferred). Remember to tick the Gift Aid box as there is no extra charge to you.
Many thanks for looking, and please pass this onto your friends, and everyone else you think that knows me. I will be running in a very manly pink vest on the day!!!
cheers
Gary
