So begins another year... After my inaugural marathon in 2013, 2014 sees me taking on the Reading Half Marathon (finished in 1 hour 35 mins), Edinburgh Marathon ( finished in 3 hours 33 mins), Jersey Marathon and the Birmingham Half Marathon. That's a lot of running and not a lot of drinking and cheese eating.

Talking of drinking, I'm also organising a gig at New Cross Inn to carry on the fundraising. I'm like a ginger, less sweary Bob Geldof. Give us your money, please...

As always this is done in aid of Breast Cancer Care who were massively helpful to me, my dad and my brother during my mum's battle against cancer. So far between the 3 of us we have raised just over £2000. A good effort but a drop in the ocean compared to the help we were given.

So, if you can afford it, please sponsor me!
