Story

Well,, what seemed a great idea (over a G&T) in Summer 2019, to run the London Marathon, has now extended into a three year project! Being that I was hitting the mid 40’s at the time the plan was hatched, the extension has not necessarily been welcomed. The legs are certainly feeling  much older, necessitating many hours with ice packs on the old knees. The delay has also cost me my original running partner, my darling wife, Karin, who has decided to stand aside! However, not to let such an opportunity pass, I have been joined by my son, Scott. Anyone who knows Scott’s story will know that a mere eighteen months ago, just walking a short distance was a huge challenge, never mind attempting a marathon! He is a true inspiration and the strongest person I know and I’m thrilled and looking forward to taking on this challenge with him alongside me. 

Please do support our charity efforts as every penny is appreciated, providing support to a wonderful charity. 

Thanks alll!
