My story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
You know when you say something not thinking it will be taken seriously and then it is! Well, one day I happened to mention that I had a small ambition to run the London Marathon. Now at the time I expressed my small ambition I was seated in an easy chair with a drink in hand. In fact I am not sure it was not the drink talking!! Any way, as they say the rest is history, thanks to my secretary!!
Well I am running for the Mayor of Southwarks charities a very good cause doing great things for the needy of Southwark and I am pleased to be raising funds for this cause. I hope you will feel the same and so please give generously.
I am in training! I have left my easy chair and I did the other day make it to the front door to look out. Well it was cold and raining. So instead I put the time to good use and started planning my run!!
I think it safe to say that I will need all the encouraement I can get so the more I raise the more I will have to do. Therefore if you want to actually see me running on the 22 April please help me by giving generously.
1st March 2012 - Houston we have a problem! Do you know how far 26 Miles is!!!! This will call for some re-planning. I shall have to find a shorter route!
I have decided to support the Multiple Sclerosis Society as well. Those who know me and my faimly will appreciate why and I hope that everyone will agree that it is a very good cause.
9 March 2012- Well I have moved to my high altitude training camp in France! It certainly makes a difference. I am now planning my runs with even greater enthusiasm than before!!
The Pyrenees are clear crisp and high and enthuses one for the run, and that is just seeing them from the comfort of my bed!! One day I must try a run in them!

Well, against medical advise common sense my body telling me not to and "er in doors" I have decided to run jog walk or crawl the marathon next week!! wish me luck!
Well I did it!!! and I beat the Rhinos, I think!!!! Thank you for all your support and best wishes! In answer to that question: NO!!!
