Hi all, I have been a bit quiet about this challenge as I have had a bad niggling Achilles issue that has hindered my training. Saying that it seems to be ok now and I have been doing a bit of cramming in the last few weeks.. rightly or wrongly.

So it looks like I will now get to the start line next Sunday. I have run the Brighton Marathon before, but a good few years ago now, and it’s a great event.

Next week will be about a year to the day that I started to feel a bit odd and thought I might be a bit under the weather. As we know now I was more than under the weather as had cancer a few weeks later.

All boshed and sorted with no bother thank god… though this challenge might be a touch tougher.

Any support you can give would needless to say be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

John

Thanks for supporting my fundraising. The number of people diagnosed with cancer is growing, and every one of them needs the best support to meet their unique needs.

That's why Macmillan will do whatever it takes to help everyone living with cancer across the UK get the support they need right now and transform cancer care for everyone who will be diagnosed in the future.
