My Grandfather and Father in Law were both strong, family orientated men,  devoted to supporting their family through hard work, love and kindness. Their lives were cut short by Leukaemia, robbed of the chance to see their families grow, they faded in health but never was their will to live so strong. I take this as my inspiration.

In 2012, after an unhealthy ten years of inactivity I decided to change my life for good, save myself from a life of ill health and potential incapacity. I took up cycling and running, lost some weight but it was always for my own benefit. So here I am, I've entered the Great North Run 2017 and will be training hard all through the Spring and Summer of 2017 hoping you will help me raise at least £350 for Bloodwise to help with research and care of those who are suffering this debilitating and cruel disease. Give what you can it all helps and is very much appreciated!

You can follow my progress though my Facebook page and keep an eye on my progress, so no slacking off Rob!

See you on the road;)
