Story
Just to clarify
I pay for all my own race entry fees, no donated money or money from BLF fund these.

Why do I raise funds for BLF?
I've had asthma since my mid 30s, my dad had emphysema, my mother in law had empheysema and they and my friend died of lung disease. Lung problems are too common.
I started running back in August 2006. It was not easy, but I didn't give up. I then took up triathlon in 2011. I just like to see how far I can go.
I am working towards 100 marathons and entry to the 100 marathon club.
Between May 2010 and April 2018I have completed 63 marathons, many of these have been off road ultra races. I have also completed 7 marathons that are the final leg to complete iron-distance triathlons
In 2017 I completed 20 marathon/ultras
So far in 2018 I have completed
