Story

<p>I have run two previous London Marathons. Both were run in 4 Hours 28 mins with the last one in 2009 11 seconds faster which probably equates to about 30 meters. The pain suffered during both runs meant I thought I had hung up my trainers for ever.&nbsp;&nbsp;However&nbsp;I got the call from my dad who is a council member of Bede House asking me to run for their marathon team. If you have a look at their vision and the projects they are running. <a href="http://www.bedehouse.org.uk">http://www.bedehouse.org.uk</a>&nbsp;you will see it is an excellent cause and well worth going through the pain barrier for again. I better start training. Any donations towards my &pound;2000 target will be greatly appreciated and &nbsp;I will look forward to a pint at the end of the 26.2 miles on April&nbsp; 22nd.</p> <p>For those who are new to just giving, if you are a tax payer, please click the gift aid box. Thanks. Richard</p>
