I'm having a second crack at the London marathon on Sunday 23 April to raise some money for a worthy cause. 

I'm running on behalf of my late brother in memory of my mum and other friends and family who have been supported by Macmillan over the years.

Any contribution however small will be gratefully received and will make a difference.

Please feel free to leave an estimated finish time with any donation and I'll give a bottle of bubbly/crate of ale/six-pack of Babycham to the nearest guess. I went round in 4hr 14m last year and was hoping to get sub-4hr this year but knees and age have got the better of me, so right now I'd be happy to match my 2016 time.

Thanks for reading and for any pennies you can spare!

Here's the science bit:
