Story

IF YOU ONLY SPONSOR ONE PERSON FOR ONE EVENT IN 2010, PLEASE MAKE IT ME !!  With me you sponsor one, and get FOUR free !!!

I'm running 5 major events, including the Virgin London Marathon, and I'm setting myself the challenge of completing all five in less that 10 hours.  Crazy, but true !

The five events total 68.6 miles (110km), and with enough training I know I can beat the 10 hour barrier.  Here's my previous bests for each distance;

Event                                            Distance                      Previous Best Time                  2010 Predicted Time       

Silverstone Half Marathon            13.1 miles                        1:57:10                                          1:45:00

Reading Half Marathon                 13.1 miles                        1:57:10                                          1:45:00

Virgin London Marathon               26.2 miles                        4:49:53                                          4:30:00

BUPA London 10k                          6.2 miles                        0:44:29                                          0:45:00

BUPA Great South Run                  10 miles                         1:17:15                                          1:15:00

                                                                                   Totals   10:45:57                                       10:00:00

It's a tough ask, but I''ll do it.  With your support, plus the knowledge that I'm Helping Heroes, I'll ensure I do the required training to meet the target times.  Probably.

PLEASE DIG DEEP for me and Help For Heroes.  I know it's a tough time financially, but I'm asking each of you to consider a minimum donation of £25 - don't forget this is for FIVE events, including a full-on marathon (incidentally the world's largest fundraising event), which has to be worth £25 on it's own !!!.  And what's more, I won't be bugging you 5 times throughout the year !!!

You can also join my Facebook group for this challenge -  Clatters 5 in 10 Challenge - where you can get regular updates about my training, or lack of it!  Also you can see which of my chums are running each event, and there'll be details of how you can come and join in on the day - otherwise known as Beers & Cheers !!

 

THANK YOU all in advance - please can you pass this on to anyone else who you may think might want to help this great cause.  It's exciting for me to be doing this challenge, and I know I'll do it better with you all behind me....
