Story

*******well the race is over, what a great week it was!  Thanks so much for everyone who donated money, much appreciated! Until the next one...... ;)


26/09/08 - Well only just over a month to go, getting very excited! Nearly reached my target of £1500 which is awesome, but I really want to get more than that if I can! Running is going really good after a slowish summer in the heat of the USA!! Thanks so much to everyone who have donated to a great cause, its so much appreciated. Roll on the big race!!

---------------------------------------

17/06/08 - The quiz was an incredible success, raising over £700 and putting me very close to my target of £1500. Thanks everyone for coming, it was an awesome night, think there are still a few hangovers looming somewhere!!

----------------------------------------

12/05/08 - The signed ball from Plymouth Argyle sold for an amazing £53.50. Thanks very much to Plymouth Argyle F.C!

----------------------------------------

08/05/08 - I have also just received a signed Williams F1 cap by their drivers Nico Rosber and Kazuki Nakajima. I have put this on ebay to help raise more funds! This can be seen here:

----------------------------------------

05/04/08 - Training is going pretty well so far! Been on a few 8 mile runs which have been a lot better than expected. Will gradually build this up so hopefully by summer time that will be about 15-20 miles. Got some pretty painful knees so I think it may be time to shell out on some proper running shoes rather than my 15 quid old school Hi-Techs !!! If you see me running anywhere, give me a toot!!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page . Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

I will be running the New York City 2008 marathon on November 2nd. I have set myself a big target of raising £1500 for the Whizz Kidz charity and I would love your help!! If you have a spare few quid, please please donate it via this site to Whiz Kidz and help me reach my goal of at least £1500. I will be so grateful to anyone who donates and I promise to give you a sip of my beer next time I see you. I will also put the name of everyone who donates through here on the tshirt I will run in, and as big a font as possible!!...and you will also get to see a photo of me at the finish line looking very purple, half dead and probably being carried away by a paramedic!!!!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Whizz-Kidz 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support, it is really appreciated.

Cheers! Will
