Tristan was the perfect big brother in so many ways... good at leading away stray men! Good at telling me what my bum looked big in! Good at giving cuddles, but above all he was someone i could admire for his achievments.

Tristan was a superb athlete from a young age and no matter what he dabbled with he seemed to be good at it. Rowing was his chosen sport, the sport in which he would represent his country several times.

Sadly in the last years of his life Tristan was plagued with back injury problems which led him to take on a coaching role rather than a competing one, but he still had an aim of running the marathon and had applied on several occasions.

Tristan cannot be here to run this one so I and some of his friends have decided that we would run it in his honour.

If Tristan has got me to give up smoking to do this marathon then please help me by sponsering me, or coming along to watch, to help to get me to the finnish line!
