You are probably wondering why you should sponser me to run, YES RUN the Marathon. All I can say is that running 26.1 miles (40k) in the biggest and most famous marathon in the world will not only be a life changing experience for me but it will also save the life of someone who is on the ANTHONY NOLAN BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT LIST. In September 2007 I took a look at myself and could see my 40th birthday approaching,weight at an all time high and my lifetime ambition becoming an impossible dream. So it was now or never !!  SInce the training began I have lost nearly 2 stones in weight and have given up drinking, thats right NO alcohol  since the 1 st of Jan not a drop!!!!  I have been running a least 3 times a week with a long run on Sunday (7am starts) and on the 17th of Feb  I completed a half marathon in 1:56:22 .
