Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For several years, my close friends and family have patiently listened as I have expressed my desire to complete a marathon. So, I have finally pulled myself together and entered the TCS London Marathon.

Some may suggest that I’m embroiled in a midlife crisis, others would suggest that I’ve always had daft tendencies. Either way, I’m delighted to share that I’m seeking to raise funds for 2 charities very close to my heart:

• Blind in Business – Inspiring visually impaired people to achieve their career ambition

• The Change Foundation – Transforming young lives through sport

The journey to this point has been awesome. Training began on 28th December 2024 and through snow, wind, rain and even a touch of sunshine I have managed to stick to a plan which I hope will see me through to the finish line.

For the final push, it will be amazing if you can like, comment and share this link to raise as much awareness as possible. And if you can afford to donate, please do. It will be incredible to know that when every muscle is screaming and every sinew straining, that my effort will help make a real difference to the lives of others.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
