Story
It is done! The big race was yesterday and I managed to finish about on scedule in 1 hour and 47 minutes with only one short comfort break in a bush at 8 miles, I ran the rest honest. It was a really great day and the MacMillan support was fantastic. I have collected £740 already as you can see and I have the promise of another £100 or so in pledges so I will not know the final total for a while. Thanks again for your support.
I have set a new target , £750, twice we have broken the barrier, can we make it a hat trick? Please, every pound helps.

2 weeks to go and again the Target has been met! Training is going well with a run yesterday of 8 miles and a long sit down afterwards. Thank you to everyone has donated so far and please to those who haven't take this opportunity to do some good!
20/09/2011 In less than a week you wonderful people have exceeded my initial target for sponsorship. I have no option but to double my target and hope the money keeps coming. Thankyou to all the sponsors and to those who have not yet committed, com on you know you want to!
I have been raising money for MacMillan since 2003, on their behalf I ran a half Marathon and spent a weekend hiking in Wales. I have not done anything for a couple of years and therefore this next challenge came about.
We all know someone who has been affected by Cancer, in my case too many people and this latest effort has be made all the more poignant by the very recent diagnosis and death of one of my close friends - all since I registered for the event.
So, if you like the idea of the fatboy puffing around 10 miles chased by Sailors in Portsmouth then please sponsor me.
