Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

At the age of 44, I am having a mid life crisis! Like most men at this time of life, we go straight to the nearest car showroom and buy the fastest thing we can afford.. well in my case it was JJB and a pair of trainers!

So I decided to run a marathon... but there is more, I have done the Silverstone Half Marathon on the 15th March 2009 (completed 1h 57m), the London Marathon on the 26th April 2009 (completed 4h 35m), and the Edinburgh Marathon on the 31st May 2009 (completed 4h 28m), a total of 66 miles in all.
I have been training since May 08 and by the I have done in the region of 170 training runs, covering 850 miles, so please give generously to Claire House, which will make all this hard work worth while.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Claire House Children's Hospice gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation
