Hello everyone,

Hope you're well.

Update 2nd August

Bonjour🗼🇫🇷

After speaking to Dougie Mac I have decided to take my challenge aboard

So on 13th April (Dad's birthday) I will be joining 50,000 others to take on the Paris Marathon.

Well after several failed ballot attempts for the London Marathon, I was feeling a little abit dejected.

I compeated in the Manchester Marathon in 2022 and completed it in 04:53:03, loved it and also raised £2300 for Mind,

A charity close to my after my own Battles with Mental Health.

Next Year I will be looking for donations for the Dougie Mac hospice, I first started raising donations for Dougie Mac in 2010 when my dad passed away on my birthday at the hospice with numerous events like Tough Guy and tough Mudder.

The staff there throughout my dad's stay were amazing, the same after my dad's death they were compassionate and likewise amazing.

I believe Dougie Mac as probably touched someone's heart at some point, so I know it means a lot to you all.

I turned to running and with the help from my running club family, Parkrun family and all the other runners I found a new lease of life.( Thank you to Alsager Runners, Mow Cop Runners and all the Support from all the volunteers at all the Park runs)

So lets put my passion for Running, Lose some Weight 😬 and raise awareness and raise some amazing donations for our local Dougie Mac Hospice.
