Virgin London Marathon 2014 · 13 April 2014 ·

Story

How did this happen? In summary, Mr Oliver stitched me up! We applied together to run for Joint Action, however Mr Oliver was unsuccessful in gaining a place as he had recently climbed Mount Kilimanjaro for Joint Action.

Since gaining a place I have been training hard! Sunday mornings have been transformed from a long lie in to a 20mile run on the north downs!

You have a 50% chance of requiring treatment from an orthoapedic surgeon in your lifetime! Joint Action is the charity arm of the British Orthopaedic Association.  They raise funds for research into bone and joint pain. There research is aimed at advancing treatment of bone and joint problems.

If you want to keep an eye on my training the look at my strava profile or check here for other updates!
