Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

What am I doing?

In September and October of this year i'll be taking part in 2 running events, the Wolf (Woods, Obstacles, Lakes and Fields) Run and the Birmingham Half Marathon in memory of my father and to raise funds for Marie Curie.

Why am I doing it? 

Aside from Marie Curie being the chosen charity for BNP Paribas PF UK's Corporate Social Responsibility initiative, I am indebted to the charity for their support during my father's illness.

In 2012 my father was diagnosed with a grade 4 Brain Tumour (Glioblastoma Multiforme) with a poor prognosis. And so needed 24 hour support at home. Marie Curie were able to assist us with a night nurse, the support was enough for us to begin to come to terms with my father's rapidly progressing illness.

What's my promise?

If you have been unfortunate enough to see me in my lycra padded cycling shorts you might know that i'm competitive. My challenge is to  reach a sub 2 hour time in the Birmingham Half Marathon, which I have not been able to reach the last 3 times I have completed it.

I will be taking my training seriously and running 4 times a week (averaging between 50 - 90 KMs per week) alongside cycling 40 miles to work. To show my transparency and commitment i'll post my weekly mileage each week from this week (13.08.2018) onwards.

What would I like from you?

To join me and support this great charity - that offers support to those affected by terminal illness.

Thank you.
