Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you may or may not know, i won a competion in February in association with the Jane Tomlinson Charity and James Hirst personal training and the Yorkshire Post. My challenge was to do get fit, loose weight and take on 4 Jane Tomlinson events ... well ive decided to push myself and do 8!!

So click on the link below to read my story printed in the yorkshire post .. http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/lifestyle/health-and-family/john-s-ready-to-rise-to-the-fitness-challenge-1-4281696

So, the events are ... March ... 1 mile sport relief run, April ... 5 miles Peak District walk carrying the weight i have lost from 11th Feb till 25th April which as of start of April is over 3 stone!!! ... June ... Leeds 5k run ... July ... Leeds 10k run ... August ... York 10k run + 14 mile Yorkshire Dales walk ... September ... 18 mile Lake District walk ... November Abbey Dash 10k run

As well as doing this im taking personal training sessions, changing my diet, reduced dramaticly my alcohol intake ... all in all ... im changing my whole life ... for the better :)

I want to give my all to raise as much money for this great charity and i want to use Jane's determination to never give up as an inspiration to spur me on and complete my year of challenges.

Although i have set this up as a 1 year challenge, i believe that what im doing now is going to be life changing ... i want to push myself every year now to set challenges and goals and raise lots of money for a worthy charity!!!
