Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having talked about it numerous times over one too many beers with Stan, we have decided to take the plunge and have a go at our first full Marathon. On the morning of 4th May 2014 we will be lining up in the city of Hamburg ready to face 26.2 gruelling miles, having spent many months complaining of sore feet and calves.

We thought this was a significant enough challenge to try and raise some money for charity and have picked the Stroke Association as our charity of choice.

I have picked the Stroke Association as it is a charity close to my heart following the death of my Granddad who suffered two strokes in 2012. I'd like to give something back to them to help others back on the road to recovery following a stroke. If you have a few pounds to spare, your donations would be much appreciated. If at least this way it commits me to having to run 26.2 miles!
