Story
Here we are, two years on from hanging up my marathon shoes for the last time and I'm about to do it all again!
This time its Chicago and I guess I'm still not ready to accept that at my age I should be preparing for more leisurely activities at the weekends. All the injuries I've been picking up along the way will not stop me making it to the start line..and I'm still trying to convince myself that they will not slow me down. This time though, I've got a running partner in Gavin to help me through the pain and drag me over the finishing line.
Once again, "Get Kids Going" have helped me to get the place in the race and so I would like to thank them by raising money for all the great work that they do in helping disabled children to take part in sport. I feel very strongly about this as I know just how fantastic life is when sport plays a major part in it.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Get Kids Going! 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. But if you have any doubts that the years and the injuries will stop me from getting over the finishing line ( oh you of little faith) then you can always hit the pay on completion button. So please sponsor me now and wish me luck for Chicago in October! Thanks very much.Pete.
