Thanks for taking the time to visit my Justgiving page.

After a bit of Guinness last Friday 15th January, a couple of friends said they would love to see me run a marathon by the end of February (6 weeks).

As soon as I agreed to it I knew there was a charity very close to my heart that would really benefit from a fundraiser in such challenging times.

On the 4th August 2018, Isobelle, daughter of my wonderful friends Steve and Kadie, did not wake up.

She was 7 Weeks, 5 Days old.

 Although is is impossible for me to know the pain they have had to witness, it was possible to see how the support given to them at such a difficult and tragic time really helped and still helps them to this day. The wonderful people at Hope House are relentless in their support for parents who have had to endure what Steve and Kadie have been through, and the opportunity to help make a difference for this wonderful organisation was a no brainer.

If you google how long preparation for a marathon should usually take and consider my love of pizza, lager and anything Carb based, you will see how challenging the 6 week preparation time coupled with a solo marathon with no crowds will be and I hope it makes you smile and grab your wallet/purse/glasses case.

Thanks for your time

Phill/Pears.
