I am currently training to run my first half marathon on the Fylde Coast on Sunday 16th February , with my brother David. Im over 14 stone, have mainly done weight training and kickboxing so am certainly not the corrwxt byild for running , but im not planning on losing loads of weight to do this i plan to complete it at this weight and do it hopefully in under 2 hours which to me at least will be a good achievement. Originally I was doing it to get fit and for some motivation , but since im training hard for this I thought it would be a good idea to try and raise a little bit of money for an amazing local cause . Alder Hey is one of the finest childrens hospitals in the country (, my brother has worked there as an anaesthetist ). It has helped many children and families in the local area and far beyond , including many people who i know and care about . Any help raising some money would be massively appreciated and im sure every bit of money this hospital can get to help will make a big difference !
