Story

My story will be come a blog over time (blog towards the bottom) but guys please read it all?

A child's first smile is something special. So imagine not having that moment as your child was born with a cleft palate or lip. Because of the cleft, your child can't eat properly or learn to speak, and could even have breathing issues.

Smile Train provides free cleft repair surgeries to those in need  while helping to train local doctors. This makes it possible for a child born with cleft to eat, breathe, speak properly, and smile. Please donate, and give the power of a smile.

To support this amazing charity, and to give families the joy of a child's first smile, I'm taking on a number of physical challenges - a 24hr run around Chasewater on 6th December 2014 , the Staffordshire 70.3 Ironman trialthlon and also the london marathon.

If you'd like to help me help a child smile, please donate, whatever you feel you can afford.

Hi guys I've recently run 100.54miles in 23hrs and 35mins. This is definitely not for the faint hearted. At 91miles I just wanted to give in. My fellow shabba runners and Sid morph and Duane were a great support.
After I completed this challnge my brain then decided what can I do next? So I've now decided I'm goin to run the london marathon 2015 completely BAREFOOT! :)

Thank you. Your support is fantastic.
