hen I decided to take on a challenge, I thought I'd go a little bit further. So not only is it a marathon, but it's at midnight and I'm going to be wearing a BRA. This last bit is because it is a charity event called the moonwalk. The marathons I am taking part in are the Playtex Moonwalk on the 19th May(http://www.walkthewalk.org ) and the Edinburgh Marathon on the 27th May (http://www.edinburgh-marathon.com )

I will be doing the moonwalk with my wife (Jacquie) and my mother in law (Pauline), who both have their own fundraising pages.

Jacs page is http://www.justgiving.com/jactruswell2 and Paulines is http://www.justgiving.com/pwilki.

The moonwalk seems a long way off at the moment, which I am greatful about as I am over 15 stone in weight ( over 200lbs), so I'll be a little bit lighter and healthier when I cross the finishing line. My dogs are enjoying this challenge at the moment and they're getting fitter as well. My only reservation is that I'm doing a second marathon in Edinburgh only two weeks after.

Your donations will help us train in the miserable Manchester weather and thank you for looking at my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Walk the Walk 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. It will be needed.
