The Huw Thatcher Trust was setup in 2011 to remember Huw (a young lad from my local area) and to raise money to help brain injured people.

I helped raise funds for the Trust back in 2011/12 when I was chairman of Holme Valley Parish Council and in doing so got to meet Huw's dad Nick who has become a good friend.

Since i've met Nick he has done loads of stuff that I couldn't do like cycle from coast to coast, half marathons and loads of other stuff that i've always thought I would like to do sometimes. 

A few month's back Nick posted on facebook about doing this half marathon.  I thought I could do this with a bit of training and since then i've been stepping it up every week and I reckon I might just about be able to do it now.  Why not!!

Nick has inspired me to do this as have a few of my other friends that have done big challenges recently.  If they can do it surely I can.  You can as well :)

Money raised from here will be passed on from the disabilities trust to the Huw Thatcher Trust.  A bit more about the trust can be found here-

Thanks you for sponsoring me.  Your encouragement will be spurring me on when my legs and feet are suffering!!
