Story

Hi all
      I am not sure if you are all aware, but I will be taking part in the
Paris Half Marathon at 10.00am on the 2nd March.
 What??? I here you say.!! Yes it is I The same Kevin Keane who would have
maybe had a few beers and then fallen asleep at the drop of a hat after smoking his
own weight in Marlboro lights.
   Yes I have become bored with the cigarettes and alcohol and gone, as
I might have put it myself a while ago," To The Dark Side" I have started to
 use words like Training and fitness and
"I really enjoyed that 5km run this
 morning".
I find it just rolls off the tongue with the greatest of ease.
 I will be Running the marathon,for two charities, One is The Rowans Hospice
in Hampshire who as some of you know was the hospice to look after my/our great
 friend Denzil in the  last few weeks of his life. The other is Cancer Research. They say
one in three of us will be affected in some way by this Horific illness, so its
worth investing in.
 The Paris Half marathon is 21 km of gruelling terain and will be hard enough to run
never mind having to navigate my way to the front, through all those french people, who
 as anyone who has driven a shopping trolly in a French supermarche can tell you is
going to be a challenge all unto itself. So wish me luck.

I am sure that you are looking back at the first part of this message and trying to
recover from the shock of seeing my name and half marathon so close together.
So, whlie you are in a dazed and confused state, quickly get you credit card out
 and make a donation. Just look at it as the cost of a round of drinks and go
out half an hour later next Friday night.

Thanks for your support Folks..
