Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the NY marathon in November and in doing so hope to raise money for Saint Michaels Hospice, which I knew was a special place when I worked there in 2002, but became even more significant for our family in 2010.

I have a lot to live up to, with a Bracher NY marathon precedent set at sub 3 hours (!) but my goal is a (slightly) more realistic 4 hours! 

As many of you will know, due to a certain Hurricaine, and then some ruptured ankle ligaments, this will be my 3rd attempt at the NY marathon.  I have extended this page I set up in 2012, so it still shows the kind donations made in that year, which were honoured by us running our 'alternative New York marathon' in North Yorkshire.  It wasn't quite New York though, and it has remained unfinished business since then!

Rest assured I have not signed on to a package where raising a certain amount of money covers flights/race entry etc, so every single penny you give will go straight to the Hospice.
