Our personal message:

Hello all

Thanks for visiting my page as I prepare for the New York marathon (all 26.2miles of it)

There's just one week to go and the training was going so well but I tore tissues in the back of my calf on my last long run (19 miles) and so have had a couple of weeks off. Good news is that it seems to be healing and I will at least give it my best shot.

I really appreciate all the sponsorship I get, however big or small as it is for a good cause helping disabled children into sport.

Funny quips with the sponsorship always go down well too!

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.

Many thanks for your support.

Rob
