Story

 I know a lot of my friends know already i have been training hard all summer to achieve my dream of completing a 3rd marathon and what better place to do it but here in the South of France. It has taken over my life a little but anyone who knows me well will understand this is the only way I can do it.  I am now 2 weeks away from the big day and I have completed my last long run of 22 miles and am now ready, or as ready as I ever will be!  A marathon is a tough thing to do and I am asking in return for having my health and the well being to be able to do this for a donation to my chosen charity.  I have decided to run for Cancer Research as sadly nowadays we all know someone who is living with or who has lost someone dear to them from cancer The last 2 marathons I ran were 11 years ago and I am doing everything I can to try and run in less than 4 hours (3hrs 59!) I hope you will all support me and please feel free to add another donation if I achieve my target time! Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
