Why £421.95? Because there are 42195 metres over the course of a marathon. Since I started running in 2010, I've gradually pushed myself further, further and faster. Every year I would enter the London Marathon ballot & every October I'd receive a rejection. In previous years I'd shrug my shoulders & try again next time. In 2014 I decided I wasn't going to take no for an answer & put myself into the Berlin ballot. 

On September 27th 2015 I'll be doing something I've never done before, attempting to run a marathon. It will be the most physically & mentally demanding thing I will have ever put myself through. 2015 has one goal & that is to cross the finish line under the Brandenburg gate.

Thank you for supporting me on this journey & thank you for helping me to raise funds for Mind, a cause that means a lot to me & my family. Of course I'd like to raise far more than the target I've set, but much like my goals for the marathon itself, let's achieve the realistic aims first.
