Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For many years I have often wanted to dig deep into my bodily resources and pluck up the courage to run the Hastings Half Marathon but have never been brave enough to do so. However, with both my Father, Godfather and Suzanne's Uncle are currently battling against Prostate Cancer I no longer needed an excuse or reason not to go out there and make a difference.

As such on Sunday 21st March 2010 I shall be dragging my body around the streets of Hastings for just over 13 miles in the hope that I can firstly complete the course, secondly still be alive at the end and thirdly and most importantly raise some funds for my chosen charity - Prostate Cancer Research. I am looking to raise £2,000 as a minimum and would very much like your help to assist me in reaching this milestone.

I have been in training for a little while and have recently stepped up the pace to prepare me for the big day ahead. I am hoping to complete the course in two and a half hours, so far the best I have managed is eight miles in ninety minutes, as such there is still a lot of training to do! I am currently also looking to loose a significant amount of weight, yes I know, not before time! I am looking to get down to thirteen stone by race day, at this stage (1st Feb 2010) I have managed to get to 13 stone 12 lbs, from 14 stone 8 lbs since New Years Day, some way to go yet!
