Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am raising money for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity by running 5  Marathons in 5 Days. Running from Episkopi Station to RAF Akrotiri back to Episkopi in Cyprus. Completing my fundraising in April with my 11th and final London Marathon.  

Update 11th April - I completed my 5 marathons in an impressive time averaging 5hrs everyday. With great support from my small team I made it across the finish line. Now with 2 weeks to go London Marathon is looming and for the last time I will now tackle the streets. 

Over the last few year's SSAFA have supported my family through thick and fin. They have helped and are still helping my wife with anxiety issues which resulted in high blood pressure problems. This meant back in March 18 I witnessed along with my children seeing my wife go off in an ambulance. 

With all the support from the SSAFA Team in Cyprus, they have got my family back on track. I am now in a new job in a new location which is better for my family and my wife is now no longer house bound. With the help of SSAFA volunteers she is now able to get out and about, visit many places and has also got the confidence to take part in a mosaic course and fitness dance classes. 

I owe so much to SSAFA for supporting my family and keeping us safe, all together in another country. There is only so many times you can see thank you and this is my way of saying this. I would like to make my target and break it with the support of my family, friends and colleagues.
