Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page 'Running for George'. 

I am running the Chester full marathon for a very special little boy called George. George is one of my little girl Elsie's very best friends and when his mummy went for her 20 week scan they were told he had a potentially life threatening abnormality in his right kidney and after lots more scans and appointments he was referred to Alder Hey. George has been diagnosed with Hydronephrosis and has been through many tests and small operations and  is doing really well but has more treatment yet to come. 

I started running again in January and know when I see how much he makes my little girl laugh and smile I had to do my bit just to say thank you 😊  

This will be a very tough challenge for myself I've run a few half marathons and as Kerry, my wife will vouch for at the end of them I'm physically done in. Its hard finding the time to train as I work away most weeks as a HGV Driver. Normally for a marathon you need to train 4 times a week but I'm doing it over just 2 days. 

A big thankyou to Kerry my wife for supporting me through this I can be out running for anything up to 4 hours at a time on weekends.

Then finally a massive thankyou to Nikki and Elliot, George's parents for their blessing in allowing me to do this on behalf of George.
