Having taken up running some 11 months ago and become much fitter, I have decided to challenge myself for good causes and go the distance at the Geneva Marathon on 7 May 2017, pushing my limits, both physically and mentally, to complete this marathon of 42km (or 26.2 miles) in the beautiful Swiss countryside and (hopefully!) finishing in Geneva along the shores of its glistening lake. Location and scenery aside, this feat will be a gruelling one and in no way easy but having put in the countless hours of training and many miles, I am determined that I will complete this marathon.

In final preparation for the marathon, I hope that you will join me by supporting my efforts and by sponsoring me - my target is £1500.

Monies will be donated to various charities which help those who are in need.

All sponsorship is truly appreciated and you support will, I am sure, spur me on along each of the 42km, no matter how tough the marathon gets.

Thanking you for your kindness, generosity and support,

Arian
