On 28 April 2013 I will join Grame Urwin and Nick Blunden to run the Big Sur Marathon in California, USA. 26.2 miles of the most beautiful Pacific coast scenery... seen through the weary glaze of running pain!
I'm running in memory of 2 people to raise money for 2 charities:
My dear dad Graham Berthon died of cancer on 20 April 2012 in the care of the wonderful St Maraget's Hospice. On the first anniversary of his death I wanted to say thank you to St Margaret's Hospice for the love and care they showed him in his last days.
Secondly, Andrea Findaca - the brother of a friend of mine, died of a brain tumour in 2011 aged 37, after a 7 year struggle. I am also raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity, the UK's leading charity dedicated to brain tumour research, patient information and support. To give to this charity please go to the other page.
My friends Graeme Urwin and Nick Blunden will take on The Boston 2 Big Sur Marathon challenge which involves 2 marathons on 2 coasts in 13 days and as even the promotional material for it states that "only the fittest (or craziest) ever attempt back-to-back marathons...much less 3,000 miles apart" we would greatly appreciate any donation you can give to combat this disease.
