Hi Everyone,

If you have got this far then hopefully you will be willing to sponsor me. For Years I have watched the Marathon on TV and always thought how fantastic it would be to participate, but within a few days the idea slips away, Unfortunatly a couple of days after this years event I happened to be discussing this very fact with a friend over a few beers and a curry, and  'as you do' made a pact to run in 2012!

The next Day I ran around the block 0.2 MIles, The first time I had run for 20 Years!( Ouch),  But now I had the Bug. We are Both now in Training and Getting fitter week by week.

I Have chosen to run for St. John Ambulance, A great Charity that does so much to give ordinary people the Training and Confidence to offer first Aid in everyday situations, My Daughter is also a cadet so I can see the good work they do at first hand. I am also Hoping the St. Johns T-Shirt may give me some preferencial treatment should I need it on the big day!

I hope you can all dig deep and help me to reach my sponsership target,

Cheers Darren
