Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This is about my mate Kev. Kev is the same age as me. He has lived 9 lives, had some amazing jobs and done some amazing things. He is also a secret phenomenally talented artist at drawing and painting. He is a lovely, warm, funny, bear of a man, who gets inside the heart of everyone he meets. He has a wonderful wife called Helen who makes him really happy and the two of them together are like forged steel.

Next Christmas, Helen will be celebrating on her own. Because Kev has terminal liver cancer. And that's just not fair. 

I can't stop the horrible disease and I can't synthesise a cure for Kev, but I want to do something. What I can do is a little tiny thing to help ease Kev's last few weeks, and that is raise some much needed funds for St Marys Hospice.

Kev is going to go to our wonderful local St Mary's Hospice, where angels come down to earth to care for the people we love in their dying days, and their families too. Every penny they survive on comes from fundraising. It costs £9500 every day to run the hospice and £600 to care for a patient for 24 hours.

To raise money, I am going to run every single day through the cold, dark, sober month of January, whether it's frozen and slippery, northerly and gusty or raining sideways and muddy. Morning, noon or night. I am going to run for 31 days and I will have to dig deep to go out on many of those. Kev will be with me in spirit for every one. I am aiming for a total of 100 miles.

I would love you to donate to this page so that the Hospice can keep going, and Kev and his family can benefit, and others like him afterwards.

Many many thanks for your support,
