Story

Hi All,

Thanks for visiting my just giving page, I'm attempting to complete this years London Marathon in aid of Breast Cancer Now, sadly a disease that I'm far too familiar with.

The last time, I attempted anything like this (the Reading Half Marathon some 18 years ago) was in honour of my mum and this year I'm running in honour of my beautiful wife, Gemma, who is in recovery from Breast Cancer and doing great. It seems only right that I try and go twice the distance for the two most important women in my life.

Cancer has touched so many of us and will continue to do so, but the more we can do now, the better the story for others, and so I kindly ask you to dig as deep as you can and help raise funds for this brilliant cause, with comfort in the knowledge that I'll be in pain for 26.2miles, as I struggle to drag this old frame across London.

Thanks all.
