Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am starting a journey here. This is my first competitive run for a long time, so I thought I would begin with a 10K. I ran a marathon a few *cough* years ago and it was interesting. I mostly remember being overtaken by those guys in the rhino costumes and thinking I hadn't trained hard enough...

So I am running this event for Great Ormond Street Hospital. As one of the cast of Horrible Histories I was asked to visit the hospital and I saw first hand the vital work that they do. That work depends on donations and I hope that you will pledge to this page (thus helping me haul my ageing frame over the line)  and then consider supporting the hospital as a regular donor. 

I intend to use the Newham 10K as a platform for larger events. Perhaps a marathon, a trip over the Andes, or a Polar Trek. Wait, back up... a marathon. Yes most likely another marathon. I may even do it dressed as Henry VIII.  

Anyway, I will update this page as I go, so keep checking back for progress reports.  

Thank you.
