Our personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I appreciate your donation.

10 years on from my first and only London Marathon I have decided to once again pound the streets of London on the 13th April. I was originally going to run with my mate Cat Haines who I ran with in 1998 and be our 10 year anniversary running challenge, but due to her learning to fly on her mountain bike last year and only just getting back into exercise my running buddies will be Geoff Thomas and anyone I can find to help me after two of my running buddies (Dan Ellmore and Lisa Reddish) not making it to the start line.

My aim is to run sub 4 hours and if possible go under the magic Perfect Motion running record of 3 hours 57 minutes currently held by my business partner Chris Simon.

My chosen charity is the Geoff Thomas Foundation www.geoffthomasfoundation.com and I aim to raise £1,000 and beat Geoff ! It is a great cause and one that will make a difference.

Thanks to Adidas (Mark and Sarah) and Impsport (Dan) www.impsport.com for my kit, Sports Tours International (Pete) www.sportstoursinternational.co.uk and Steve Trew (BIG thanks) for my training advice.


Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Geoff Thomas Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
