Story

Hello and thank you for visiting my page.

On Sunday 25th April 2010 i will be running 26.2 miles in the Virgin London Marathon. My reason behind this... well my brother has completed it a number of times in very respectable times so i concluded how hard could it be? It also might keep me out of the pub for a while, at least for the weekend before.

The charity i have chosen to run for is The National Blind Children's Society. This charity helps children who are blind or visually impaired achive a better standard of life through helping them achieve their educational and recreational needs. Only £75 could ensure that a newly diagnosed child and their family receive immediate support. I am hoping to raise over £1300.00. The only way of doing this is your sponsorship for me doing this ridiculously long run. I understand times are very difficult at the moment so any donation would be greatly appreciated.

If you would like any more information about my chosen charity please visit www.nbcs.org.uk. If you would like anymore information about me, you are strange and need a hobby.

Thank you all and looking forward to the shouts of "RUN FAT BOY, RUN."
