I am sure that many of the readers of this page have children or nieces and nephews. Can you imagine the pain of knowing that your child has a terminal illness which is curable, but due to lack of resources and funding your child may die? What a horrendous thought, but in reality this may well happen. (As happened to Anthony Nolan!)

I personally do not know of anyone who needs a bone marrow transplant but the very idea that children and their parents can be put through such a torment made me realise that this was the charity for me, and hopefully for you.

I ran the GNR 6 years ago for the Anthony Nolan Trust and managed to raise approx £560, please help me achieve and better that result this time.

Why have I not run since 2001?

I had 2 road traffic accidents within 18 months of each other which left me ill and disabled for  many years, actually up until September last year when I was given an healing at my local church. In December I received another healing which enabled me to go the gym for the first time in 6 years on 6 Jan 07. I managed to run 1 mile and walked like Frankenstein for a week, I knew then I would be running this years GNR, even though I still have 3 prolapsed disks in my back, a trapped nerve and damaged nervous system. With the help of god and you, we will succeed.

I am currently running 4 X 5 miles a week and did an 8 mile run at the weekend, I will keep you posted as I make more progress.

Traning Updates

May/June 06

I managed to do a 9.5 Mile run last Saturday and repeated it today  (2nd June), I will probably stick with my 5 mile runs through the week but plan to increase my long weekend run distance, and due to the pain i was in after this weeks run I have decided to only do a long run every other weekend.

Please visit the Anthony Nolan trust website for more information.
