Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Here goes, my first marathon and where better to start... the 2010 Virgin London Marathon! It's been an ambition of mine for quite some time to run in this world famous event, I also wanted to mark the occasion with a thoughtful gesture.
In 2008 we lost a very dear family friend and it is my privilege and pleasure to run in honour of a wonderful man, Paddy McCourt. The care and support given to Paddy, his wife Cathy and their family by Macmillan is a testament to care and support this charity provides throughout the UK. It is with Cathy’s blessing that I am running to raise money for this very worthy cause.I have already started my training and will be running in both the Watford Half Marathon (07/02) and the MK Half Marathon (08/03) as a build up to the big day! Make a donation, send me a message of encouragement and support or come along and watch me train. Better still, come to central London on the day and watch me and thousands of other runners raising money and making the London Marathon a Guinness world record holder as the largest single annual fund raising event in the world!
