Thanks for visiting. I'm doing this run because after my incident in Marbella, where I was shot 3 times in a case of mistaken identity, I suffered a severely damaged nerve in my left leg, and my left foot no longer moves....yet! It will never be anywhere near the same again, but I COULD get some movement back. I am back training and have been told that to give myself the best chance of getting some recovery, training will really help, so I needed a challenge. When I was lay in hospital, with both my legs in bandages from top to bottom, I told my wife that I would run the Great North Run again one day. This is the 1st step to trying to achieve that. I am a patron for Niamh's Next Step and it is a cause close to my heart. Thanks for taking the time to read. X
