Story

Thanks for visiting my sponsorship page; it is very much appreciated.


This is my third year raising money for the very worthwhile cause of Cancer Research.


Hopefully I will avoid the pitfalls of last year's marathon attempts:  London- kidney stones 2 weeks before the event meant that I could not take part,  Nottingham- travel disaster- had to run 1.5 miles to the start, got misdirected by a steward at mile 23 resulting in an additional mile at the end!

No such excuses this year though.  Training is now more or less completed with 570 miles run since 1 January, no signs of kidney stones to date, and getting the relatively short distance to the start in Greenwich surely can't be that hard?!

I'm hoping to better my pb of 2 hours 56 minutes 10 seconds, in order to do this I'll need a good day, a bit of luck (or at least more than last year) and the incentive of raising a bit of sponsorship money.


If you would like to sponsor me that would be great, should you feel the need to offer 'contingent sponsorship' given last years withdrawal that will also be fine!


Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.


Thanks again,


Simon
