Since I regularly tell students that they should put in effort to support others I thought that I would put my own effort where my mouth is! I am therefore entered for the Brighton Marathon and am encouraging people to sponsor me in support of the Lavinia Norfolk Trust. 

Although I have some running experience I have previously 'topped out' at a half marathon (several years ago) and have therefore been trying to squeeze in lots of training over the cold winter months (and in between running a school, being a husband and being dad to four children); it has been tough going. To add to my trials I have now cracked two ribs and am having an enforced break from training on doctor's orders. Nevertheless I intend running/jogging/walking/crawling the marathon course on 9th April in support of the LNC. I will need your support and cash to keep me going!
