Hi everyone,

I am excited (and a little nervous) to say that I have booked in to run Dorney Lake Marathon. The challenge for me is not that I am just running a marathon, but that I booked it just four weeks before the event, and hadn't run a mile in months and months before hand!

I am running in aid of my boy's rugby team (Amersham and Chiltern Under 9s), to help them cover costs for new equipment.

Rugby means a lot to me, and I have seen first hand how rugby has taught my son and his teammates teamwork, discipline, and perseverance.

So, please do consider sponsoring me for this marathon! Any amount however small will make a huge difference to my son's team - these awesome little athletes.

Also, if you sponsor me, it'll mean I cant pull out. I'll have to push it and actually do it, which scares the life out of me.

Thanks so much

Chris
