Story

In 2020 both myself and the London Marathon turn 40. I have wanted to do this for a number of years and have not been successful by ballot. I regularly hear about the charity my wife Caroline is proud to be part of and have decided to run to support Sense and the valuable work the Specialist services for children and young people do. 

I'm fundraising for Sense, a charity that believes that no one, no matter how complex their disabilities, should be isolated, left out, or unable to fulfil their potential.Their experts offer personalised support through their centres, holidays and short breaks, or in people’s own homes. They are here for everyone who needs them, for as long as they need them – providing early intervention for children, helping young people access education, and supporting the transition into adulthood and beyond.

Training is going well, I bought my marathon trainers which have made a noticable difference to my run. Thanks so much to everyone that has donated so far and supported me. Look out for some fundraising events coming over the next couple of months...
