Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I've been lucky enough to secure a place in the 2016 London Marathon through the charity BackCare. I'm sure many of us have suffered with back pain at some point or other in our lives and can sympathise how crippling the pain can be. BackCare aim to fund scientific research into the causes, prevention and management of back pain.

As many of you probably know, I'm no stranger to the marathon distance, so just asking people to part with their hard earned money to run a single marathon just didn't seem fair.......so I'll try and run three in two weeks (15 days).

On April 10th I'll head to Manchester and run The Greater Manchester Marathon, 7 days later I'll travel to the South coast of England and tackle the Brighton Marathon and then on April 24th I'll hopefully be able to complete the London Marathon and still be able to walk afterwards!

Thank you for taking time to read my page, and a special thank you from me if you've felt able to make a donation.
