Five years ago I was persuaded by my son Jack to run the London Marathon only for him to succumb to a last minute injury. We agreed to give it another go in 2018 and he's gone and got himself injured again! So once more I find myself plodding the streets on my own through the winter in preparation for another 26 miles of pain whilst he cheers me on from the comfort of The Walrus & Carpenter.

I'm running in memory of my father and to raise some money to support those that looked after him so well and who continue to provide incredible help for those in their care.

Thanks for your support, it's very much appreciated.

Andy
