Story

Thanks for visiting my justgiving fundraising page for Edinburgh & Venice!

I am Running both the Edinburgh marathon on May 31st (6th marathon) and then the 24th Venice Marathon (7th marathon) in October, dressing up in a costume! In the Edinburgh marathon I am dressing as a Knight from the Round table complete with Crusader Sword that is totaling 30kg in weight to the appeal! This outfit is complete with Armour, Chain mail and Helmet!

In October in Venice I will aiming slightly higher for a faster time, but still in crazy fancy dress! Buzz Lightyear will be the next outfit....tooooo infinity and beyond! In previous marathons I have dressed up as Rocky Balboa, Fred Flintstone, Pirates & Tarzan, competing in London, Berlin, Edinburgh and Paris!


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UNDER 3 HOURS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Big Challenge)




I am running this marathon for St Johns Cancer Hospice in Lancaster. Its a Great place for those who know of it and a place where my Grandma ended up. It is a peaceful tranquil surrounding for those suffering to spend quality time with family there.
