Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The race has been run! I have never suffered so much in my life but I managed to finish it in 04:06:12, I think my dad would have been proud.

Once again I am raising money for the British Lung Foundation in memory of my dad. This time it is something a bit more difficult...the London Marathon! To say I am a bit scared is an understatement, but I'm sure I'll make it - I hope so anyway!!

To get myself ready for this, as well as loads of training, I will also be running numerous races beforehand. So far I am doing...

Stamford 30km - 13th February - DONE! Hardest thing I have ever done, 3:03:05

Silverstone Half Marathon - 6th March - DONE! 1:49:22

Grantham Half Marathon - 20th March - DONE! A new personal best of 1:46:32

and after London is done, I will once again be tackling Sheffield Half Marathon on 8th May. I also ran 3 half marathons and 5 10km races last year so as you can see I am taking this very seriously so please sponsor me and help me reach my target!
