Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm doing all my runs this year to help a family who have received some wonderful support from The Sick Childrens Trust. You can read about their story here.

My wife used to work with Jeff and I work with his sister. My wife has always been interested in the progress of Jasper through Facebook and always given me updates on his progress and setbacks. I know Jeff wanted to pay back the Sick Childrens Trust for everything they have done for them but with Jasper and his family being his number one priority it's not easy. I decided to try and do my bit to help Jeff, Gemma, Oscar and Jasper and their family pay something back to the Sick Childrens Trust by running as many races as I could in their name.

My plans are :

Great North West Half Marathon    13.1 Miles      23 February 2014       DONE 1.56

If all goes well at the moment that will be 126.5 miles. Might have to add some to take it to 150.

This is easy for me but will mean so much to their family and friends so please give what ever you can to help them and to help other families placed in the same horrible situation, when the last thing you need to think about is accomodation.

UPDATE : Decided to take it to 150 miles. Found a half marathon so now need another or a couple of 10K runs to hit the total.

UPDATE: Got a London Marathon Good For Age place for my 3:10:25 marathon run at the Yorkshire Marathon and also my dream Boston Marathon qualifying time.
