Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am taking this opportunity to explain some logic in the madness of inflicting my body to this test.

It hurts, its shattering, I've been injured several times and I have a trainer who enjoys inflicting pain. However, none of the 'pain' I have experienced is a fraction of what my cousin Kevin has been through since suffering a stroke when he was 39.

I have witnessed first hand the devastating effects of stroke and the effects not only on the person who has suffered a stroke but the family and friends who's lives change to support loved ones. They too are quite simply an inspiration.  

Kevin has overcome so many obstacles and his life has changed irreversibly since he was so cruelly struck by a stroke and this is just one example of thousands of people in this situation. Its just not fair.

So, 26.2 miles will be a walk in the park for me, well, hopefully a steady jog!

If you would be kind enough to support me and give any donation you can afford it would be greatly appreciated and received by the Stroke Association.
