Story
In April 2012 i will be running the London Marathon in aid of Above & Beyond, a Bristol based charity supporting all of the hospitals in the city. More specifically, I will be raising money for the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit, because in September 2010 my dad was diagnosed with leukaemia and recieved the majority of his treatment (including a bone marrow transplant) over what seemed like a number of very long months, in this unit.
I am aiming to raise AT LEAST £3000 to enable the unit to continue and help other families in similar positions. It is such a worthy cause, and if you can spare anything to help me exceed my target PLEASE dig deep and sponsor on my via justgiving :).
But that's not all, a team of 2 of us will be taking part in the Dartmoor Jailbreak, escaping from Dartmoor Prison and staying on the run for a week - getting as far as possible without paying for any transport (more details to come.) This starts on April 21st, the day before the London Marathon, so the plan? Escape to London, hide in the crowd of 70,000 people, run 26 miles, and keep going. I'm thinking Australia?! we will be fundraising for this seperately as half of the funds go to the Jailbreak charity, but none the less we're hoping this will be a spectacular event sure to raise alot of money for Above & Beyond.
Aside from the London Marathon i am also in the process of organising other funraising events, bag packing, charity collections etc and hopefully a charity food fight! (how cool would that be eh :P) and I am running a number of other events;
