Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last May I decided to apply for the London Marathon in 2016...then someone mentioned the Paris Marathon…then I figured why not do a marathon every weekend in April - Paris, Manchester, Brighton and London. I thought I’d better get some training in so I did the Beachy Head Marathon (hills and more hills) in October 2015. I followed this with the Meon Valley Marathon (a complete mudfest) in November 2015 and the Portsmouth Coastal Marathon (wet and very windy) in December. To bridge the gap between Portsmouth and Paris I’ve signed up for the Steyning Stinger Marathon on March 6th 2016 making a total of 8 marathons.

It costs £10 million a year just to maintain Shooting Start Chase's current level of care, 90% of which comes from donations. I hope you are able to support me by making a donation to this wonderful charity.
