As this year I am turning the big 40, I have decided to tick one off my bucket list and I will be running my first London Marathon. I will be raising money for Farleigh Hospice.

For someone who has never run further than 10K this is going to test me both physically and mentally, and will push me harder & further than I ever been before.

I hope to complete the marathon in 4 hours providing my body allows me to.

Farleigh Hospice is a registered charity (no. 284670) which provides hospice care to people affected by life-limiting illnesses across mid Essex.They help patients to live as actively as possible from the point of diagnosis to the end of their life, by providing physical and emotional care, free of charge.With approximately 40% of their yearly running costs being funded by the local NHS, they rely on the support and goodwill of the local mid Essex community to contribute to the £16,500 it costs to provide their services each day.

This is by far the hardest challenge I have ever done and any sponsorship, no matter how big or small will be very much appreciated!

Thanks

Neil
