"You have to forget your last marathon before you try another – your mind can't know what's coming."

Frank Shorter – Olympic Marathon Champion 1972

If that’s true I’m going to need a very short memory, because on the 8^th May 2009 I start the challenge of running 10 full marathons in 10 consecutive days over a demanding (hilly !) route around Lake Windermere in Cumbria.

This 262 mile test of both physical and mental endurance isn’t ‘just for fun’ ! It’s about raising funds in support of the fantastic work of the Brathay Hall Trust .

Brathay Hall help disadvantaged children and young people from all over the UK to overcome the difficulties arising from their personal and social circumstances , by giving them the confidence and life skills to make positive choices and thus enable them to realise their potential.

Further details on this great work can be found at www.brathay.com and further details on the challenge at www.brathaychallenge.com

I may have run a few marathons over recent years , however I’ve never attempted anything of this magnitude , which I have little doubt will test me to the limit - so please make it worth the effort and pain, and support the Brathay Hall trust by sponsoring me .

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me; Brathay Hall gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

I would like to thank Vicky Evans and Peter Todd for their support with this challenge as they both successfully completed the Bath half marathon to help boost our fundraising effort.

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page and I really appreciate all of your support.
