Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

A little about me: My name is Richard and I'm a rider/fundraiser for Yeovil Freewheelers EVS blood bikes (YFW Bloodbikes) and I'm going the extra mile (literally)!

I hate running (always have) and I've done very little in the way of exercise in well over a decade, but for some reason I've yet to find in the dark recesses of my mind I've entered the Hardy Half Marathon on the 11th May (13 and a bit miles of lumpy road/offroad running with some 1400ft of elevation) plus just for good measure the Yeovil 10K at the end of March. My aim is just to survive these events, get round and not suffer a cardiac event. So I would find it massively encouraging as I slog through the training to get fitter knowing I'm raising money and profile for this worthwhile charity.

YFW Bloodbikes supply an emergency courier service to the NHS entirely free of charge with all the monies raised going to keep the vehicles on the road (no one gets paid, we give our time freely and all our operating income comes via donations).

So if you would be so kind to show your support and sponsor me whilst I swap two wheels for two feet in an effort to raise funds for YFW Bloodbikes it would be much appreciated. You could of course always come and cheer me on from the side lines too.

Update part one completed (Yeovil 10k) , six weeks to get ready for the hardy half marathon. So plenty of time to keep those donations rolling, anything is very much appreciated.
