In 2015 I ran the London Marathon and found it very hard, it beat me completely and i had to walk/run the last 7 miles finishing in around 4hrs10mins. I am attempting to beat my last time at London by 50 minutes and hope to raise as much money for these guys as i can along the way. Its a huge challenge for me and the winter training is never easy, but its London and i need to complete well and in the best time possible that this old body is capable of.

Rays of Sunshine is a UK registered charity that grants wishes to children, aged three to 18 years old, living with serious or life-limiting illnesses.  They believe that every child deserves to experience happiness and put their illness on hold –even if it is just for one day. Their vision is to make wishes come true and turn them in to happy memories.

They do this by:-

• Granting children’s individual wishes, however impossible the wish may seem
• Grantinghospital ward wishes
• Organising events and outings for large groups of seriously ill children, such as a trip to Legoland and the Rays of Sunshine Concert

Wishes are as unique as children themselves. They give a child the chance to forget  their illness and do something they could only dream of. Wishes make a child feel extra-special and bring them hope and happiness. They also provide families with treasured memories of happy times to look back on.
