Story

Thanks for visiting and its about time where have you been -

 Take a look at that picture - now who would be daft enough to have that taken in his own back garden let alone daft enough to run 26 bloody miles around London looking like that if it wasn't for a fantastic cause??

It happens to be the 25th time I've been so stupid and therefore I wanted it to be significant in some sort of way.

I didn't manage to get a place via the ballot so scrounged around as per usual - about 8 weeks ago I phoned a guy who I had heard ran a charity and lo and behold he had just put down the phone on one of his people who had to withdraw through injury. The charity turned out to be the Presidents Club of Essex for disabled sports people of Essex.

I honestly believe that someone up there was guiding this because I had felt so helpless in knowing how to help our very own  young Aaron Williams who had broke his neck whilst playing for Basildon rugby club 1xv and is now paralysed and wheel chair bound - Here was the opportunity.

I have to raise £1000 for the charity and anything over that will go to Aarons Trust fund - therefore benefiting everyone concerned. I also realise that having done 24 marathons and raised thousands of pounds for charity, i have been asking the same people. I have therefore come up with an idea to repay you in some way. 

FOR EVERY £10 POUND YOU DONATE I WILL GIVE YOU A BOTTLE OF FINE SPANISH WINE RED OR WHITE HOW BADS THAT.

SO thanks again for reading this and logging on now help me to help them 

Cheers NASHY
