Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.  We really appreciate it. Any donation no matter how small will make all the difference and help us reach our target.

Alan has been running for years and has run the London Marathon before in 2012.  I have only been running for 18 months and it will be 2 years 4 days after I run the Barcelona Marathon on 15th March 2015.  

It has always been an ambition of mine to run a marathon which I thought I would never achieve.   Now it is within my reach (I hope) with enough hard training.

I wanted to run a Marathon before my 50th birthday on the 19th March 2015 and the Barcelona Marathon was the only one available to give me enough time to train. 

The reason we are running the Virgin London Marathon 2015 is because I think that everyone that wants to should run the London Marathon at least once in their lives and to raise money for a worthwhile cause that they believe in whilst they are doing it is even better.

Unlike Alan I have never been sponsored for a run before and I knew that when I did it would be for a cause that we both believed in.

We both believe that animals, like children, are vunerable and should be treated with care and respect and not made to suffer by cruelty and lead a miserable existence.

Animals should be free and cared for in their appropriate surroundings.

I hope that we can raise a bit of money for the Born Free Charity and that our friends can help us too

It doesn't have to be a large amount.  Just a small donation will be really appreciated and make us run just that bit faster!!
