This is my 25th time of running the London Marathon. I have been fortunate to be one of the 29 people who have run and finished in all of the 25 LM's to date. We are called the "Ever Presents".

It is a great event and the atmosphere is terrific for all of the 26.2 miles. This year I will be running with my two sons and daughter and I hope they will pull me around if I begin to flag, but it might be the other way round.

I am running on behalf of the IRHH charity since I know they provide a great and important service in the Chiltern area. They too are celebrating their 20th Anniversary and in the past have been generous to award my family with Charity places in the marathon. Please help me to help them care for more people by being generous in your sponsorship.
