On saturday the 17th of january I was offered a place in the London marathon, an event I have thought about doing for a longtime. I have whole heartedly accepted the challenge, and through commitment and grueling training I will complete it. I have devised a plan so that I can fit my training around my work and social commitments. For me to successfully complete the marathon i will need the full support of my family, friends and colleagues.

For me, It's not simply about completing the marathon it's about supporting a cause that is very close to my heart. My father has Multiple Sclerosis and is heavily involved within a charity called, The West of England MS Therapy Center, that provides support for MS Sufferers through such techniques as physiotherapy, oxygen therapy, reflexology, acupuncture, and aromatherapy. This charity is invaluable to people with MS in the surrounding areas of Bristol, my home town, and they need all the help they can get as they are in the process of building a new premises which is costing them £2.5 million.

So to all of you who I have helped out in the past, it's your turn to help me raise my target figure of £2000.... yes that rights £2000. Its pay back time for all the lifts I have given, the extra hours I have worked, the girls/boys I have set you up with, the meals I have cooked you, the drinks I have bought you, the holidays I have supplied etc etc, its time. Get you wallets out! Every little bit will help. Love you. Thank you.

Wish me luck!
