My personal message:

I really need your help. !!

Each year the London Marathon comes around and each year I say "No",  "it hurts", "its too far", "I am too old" "I cant afford the training time ... better put it off". But as it gets closer the feeble excuses start to look weaker and weaker and one way or another I just cant resist signing up again. I suppose its a drug, hard to give up, probably out of fear that is I stop doing this my declining body will simply give up the ghost and stop altogether.

"Get Kids Going" is dedicated to helping kids get over unimaginably bigger challenges everytime they even think about taking part in sport. Whenever I winge about that extra training run I think about these kids and the hurdles they must get over just to take part.

I see my kids both able to participate freely in sport, Toms a great swimmer, Rachaels kills at Netball and I am grateful thier biggest hurdle is getting away from the playstation to train.

I get a lot out of running and I love the opportunity to give something back and this charity is a great way to provide motivated and talented kids with the possibility to excel in their chosen sports despite thier physical challenges. I watch these athletes compete and admire and envy the dedication and hard work that they put in to achieve success . They are an inspiration.

Help me provide the means for more kids to participate in this great sport !!  Thanks for your help !!.
