My dad nearly died of a heart attack a few years ago, it was one of several things that opened my eyes to health. I want to be there for my wife Catherine and son Joshua as he gets older. Losing weight and being healthier will hopefully reduce the risks of heart problems and diabetes. (both things that worried me when I was so heavy ) 

I really want to support the British Heart Foundation, they do excellent work, and need us to help them to do this. 

A half marathon is way outside my comfort zone, so I really appreciate the support of family and friends. If you can contribute either with pledges here or just moral it's all appreciated. :) 

Thanks, Daniel.
