Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After just 9 weeks of training I'll be running the Athens "Authentic" Marathon on 12 November. The event follows the "original" marathon route taken by Pheidippides from the battlefield at Marathon to Athens to deliver (with his last breath before expiring from exhaustion) news of the Greek victory over the Persians. Despite my limited preparation I'm hoping for a better result than Pheidippides!

I'm running to raise funds for Brace, a charity dedicated to research into the causes of and potential treatments for dementia. This cruel condition has recently impacted a member of my family so I wanted to take some action to help in developing our understanding of this condition in some small way.

It would be fantastic if you could make a donation (no matter how small) in support of this very worthy cause. Thanks very much!
