After many years of trying, I finally have a place at the London Marathon on 23rd April 2017!

I've decided to run it to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK. This charity funds research into early diagnosis and treatment of this awful disease of which my step Father - Ian MacDiarmid  (pictured above on the guitar) is currently living with. Ian has been a rock of stability and support in my life and thanks to the treatment he is receiving, he is able to live a relatively normal life and continue to be an invaluable father and grandfather figure to myself and my family.

Training has not gone well so far, but I hope the thought of the money I'm raising will help me over the line on the 23rd April 2017.

I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations, anything is better than nothing.

Andy
