Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am aiming to run 100 half marathon (or longer) length runs in the calendar year 2013 in aid of British Heart Foundation. I have about 10 different routes; some are from where I work in Blandford, and others are from home, with the odd route thrown in when I am on holiday! Most runs take 90- 100 minutes, and all can be identified on OS maps if anyone wants to. I tend to do them on my own and so there is no one to check on me, but for me integrity and running are inextricably linked.

My motivation? Well, I know from personal experience that loss of loved ones through heart disease can be both terribly shocking and very enduring in its effect. My father died of a myocardial infarction in front of me when I was 17, and I vowed to keep fit so that my own children would not face such an experience. But this cloud has a silver lining, because I truly love running!
