Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Update - Actual 2021 rescheduled VLM will be attempted :-)

3 rd October 2021 - Few injury problems and problems recently but I will try my best not to let anyone down.

UPDATE - Due to Cov 19 and ongoing disruption the London marathon is postponed (possibly cancelled).

This Sunday (on the original marathon date), I plan to run the 26.2 miles using my government recommended 1 hour of outside exercise and then complete the rest of the distance running laps around my house and garden without stopping.

I am doing this to try and honour money already pledged in memory of Martin Simm and Rod Holland, as Pendleside goes through these unprecedented times.

Now, more than ever we need to pull together as a community to support this amazing facility.

This will be fully tracked by Garmin / Strava !) 😘♥️

This year I am raising money and running the London marathon in aid of Pendleside Hospice and for all of our loved ones that they have helped and continue to help.

Nearly every person reading this will have either used the services or had a family member or friend that has. It is SO impaortant to keep funding the hospice to allow us to have this support service in our area.

The charity holds a special place for myself and Victoria for all the help it gave to Simmy and Rod and the respective familys and friends at such a hard time.

For my training I will be running the equivalent distance  of a journey from my work place at FMUK Burnley, down to our sister plant in Derby and then on to the start line at the London Marathon ( 445 kms).

On the 26th April I will then complete the marathon and all money raised through this page will go directly to Pendeside Hospice.

My training progress will be trackable on Strava over the the next 11 weeks and other fundraising events will be held to help me to get to target.

The cost of providing care at Pendleside Hospice is almost 4.2 million this year. £3.2million of that needs to raised by fundraising events, sponsorships and donations annually

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and hopefully sponsoring :-)
