My personal message:

Though my name is given as Leonard Watson you probablyknow me better as David Watson.

I have been accepted as a member of the Christian Aid Team to take part in the Flora London Marathon 2008.  As a race walker I shall not be running, but instead will be racewalking.  To achieve my goal of finishing within 5 hours, I shall need to walk the 26.2 mile race at an average of 5 1/4 mph, still quite a tall order.  As I turned 70 last July, to achieve this goal would be to gain acceptance within the London Marathon 'Good for Age' category.

In aiming to raise £2500 for Christian Aid I shall be dependent on members of the last four parishes in which I served before retirement in 2002, and members of the Northanger Benefice of eight parishes where we now live and share in ministry, together with and family and friends

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
