Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
I wanted to raise money for two local charities - the choice of which you choose to donate to is up to you šRead my story, choose a charity, donate and support me through my challenges!

"They say you don't know what you have until it's gone, but the truth is you always knew what you had, you just never thought you'd lose it."
I think I may have been in the midst of a midlife crisis when I first signed up do a half marathon, an impulse moment where I seemingly forgot the fact I'm not a massive fan of running, least of all long distance. But what initially seemed like a daunting idea is now what gets me up in the mornings; I wake up with a new sense of motivation and adventure and know that I can achieve anything - Why? Because that's what my Grandad taught me.
My Grandad was one of those people that was meant to live forever, you never imagined a life without him because he was never supposed to go anywhere. And although he's no longer here in body, he's still here in spirit, and it's that spirit that I'll keep alive. I'm taking his power, his strength and his motivation and I'm using it to strive to achieve, to learn and succeed. I might not be able to do everything you could, but I can sure do anything I set my mind to.
Time to take on challenges and make my own stories.
In memory of Grandad Jack; you may be gone from my sight, but you will always be in my heart.
One challenge isn't enough? Check out my adventures below! And why not making this interesting? The person who donates the highest single value donation will get to set me a new challenge once my half marathon is complete!
