Story
Thank you for taking time to read my page.
After more than a decade of marathon abstinence I thought it would be a great idea to mark my return to the UK from Australia with a little 26 mile trot around our fabulous capital.
Training for a marathon can be a real challenge (especially through my first English winter in many years!) so it's been important to have a good cause to put my trainers on for. Through a good friend I was introduced to the charity Give Them a Sporting Chance.
Give Them a Sporting Chance gives the disabled and their carers fun, life changing sporting or recreational experiences. These could be anything from tall ship sailing, swimming with dolphins in Florida, watching a Test Match at the Oval , taking the family to Disney World, to meeting world famous musicians or sporting heroes. A unique feature of the charity is that in return for living their dream through a Sporting Chance, the recipient also fund raises for an additional charity of their own choice and in so doing a vast array of other charities have benefited.
Please please get behind me to help me raise as much as possible for this great cause. In return I promise to try and beat my personal best - despite sadly being 10 years older!
Thank you so much,
George
