Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In the midst of what has turned out to be an extremely hectic year, I now find myself training for the 2014 Virgin London Marathon.

On 25th August 2013 we lost a close family member of mine Lee Abbott after a short but brave battle with Bowel Cancer at the age of only 35 years old, leaving behind my cousin Abbey and their boys Zachary and Sebastian.

Lee's strive for perfection and attention to detail is something that has rubbed off onto me in recent years, no job was too big nor too small as Lee kindly demonstrated when he got me involved with the 'light' renovating work on his family home, his generosity including the upbringing of the children was also somewhat aspiring. Lee would always be the first person to take on challenges that would push himself out his comfort zone, so it seems more than a fitting tribute to endure 26.2 miles of London.

I will be running on behalf of Farleigh Hospice, a local Essex based charity, who provided much needed support to Lee during his illness and continuing support to Abbey now.

 

Any extra support on the day is more than welcome, See you at the finish line!
