Story

Hi,

To celebrate the fact that I turned 65 (or 54 +VAT as I like to call it) on June 3rd this year, I have set myself the goal of running The Cardiff Half Marathon on Oct 4th.

The last time I ran a 1/2 marathon was 41 years ago when I was 24 and I’ve always wanted to have another attempt especially whilst I still have my own knees and hips.

The cause I have chosen to raise money for is SHINE, a fabulous charity that supports people living with Spina Bifida and/or Hydrocephalus.

Thanks again in anticipation of your help.

65 year old Phil
