Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Well happy with the London Marathon is now over for this year!  I'm very short on sponsorship money which I was hoping to raise for Combat Stress.  So please dig dig deep for me THANKS! 

I completed the marathon without any training in 5 hrs and 30 mins.  The reason had no training is that I'm a serving soldier and was deployed to Iraq at the last minute and therefore my training was put off.  Luckily for me my unit 2 PARA agreed to let me come back a few days before the marathon.  All my kit was trashed by an accident by the RAF before I even flew out to Iraq so was missing all my running kit.

Combat Stress is a well worthwhile charity and therefore I have decided that the Marathon will be for me every year and will hopefully raise more next year, but for now please donate some money today, if you do I promise that I will run next year's martahon in full military kit carrying bergans with 36 lbs of weight in it.  AGAIN THANKS FOR YOUR DONATION!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: COMBAT STRESS will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
