Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

To raise money for the MND Association in memory of a great bloke and former teammate, I'll be attempting to run the equivalent distance of 12,472 cricket runs (or singles) during lockdown. 

Anyone who's seen me bat will know I'm not big on boundaries. So I thought why not try to match Alistair Cook's record amount of test runs, but all in singles. Each single run in cricket is 17.68m long. So in total I'll be running 220,505 metres over 26 days. Not easy for a non-runner with 43 year old muscles and bones made of breadsticks! 

To ensure there are no 'short runs', all progress will be tracked on Strava and hopefully by day 26 I'll be 12,472 not out! 

Any donation, no matter how small is greatly appreciated and all goes to a very worthwhile cause. So thanks in advance!
