Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

This will be my third London Marathon (1998 and 2001), but my first as a taco!

Why a taco? Well, I've never seen one complete the FLM yet so I thought it was time to change that. One taco in a sea of 36,000 runners, I hope you will be able to see and support me around the course.

Here's to a tacotastic Flora London Marathon.

Many thanks for your support.

UPDATE 24th April 07 - Yep, I completed the marathon in a time of 5hrs 19 mins and 29 secs.
