Story

I am doing my 6th consecutive London Marathon to help Variety, the Children's Charity of whom I am a very proud ambassador. 

Also alongside me I will have my longtime good friend James Scurry and also my.good friend from Hull, Steven Lovelock. James was part of our Daz's Rock 4 Charity London Marathon team for 2022 but sadly had to pull out shortly beforehand, after sustaining an injury during his last 18 mile training session (plus he contracted Covid) 

People who know me, know that I hate running and this, as always is a big challenge to me but I am determined as usual to finish and complete it and James and Steven are also looking forward to finishing and helping Variety

IN MEMORY OF MY WONDERFUL MUM, MARY SIMS (NANNIE) my mum sadly passed away 17/12/2022 she was a massive supporter of my fundraising, especially for Variety
