Twitter @AndrewSumpster please follow. I'll be using my twitter to create a training log until the marathons at the beginning of April.
Hello everyone. At the beginning of April 2013 I am going to be completing four marathons within two days in the Borders of Scotland. I shall complete two running and two cycling, this means that i will, within the two days, run 52 miles and also cycle 52 miles.
The reason for me doing this, and being "crazy" as i have been told many times, is because of my Grandad. My Grandad was always somebody to look up to and always a great inspiration and in 2008 we started to notice the symptoms that led us to discover that he had a form of vascular dementia. Within this time the family have noticed dementia change him and have all been greatly saddened by the effect dementia has had.
This is why I am wanting to raise money for the alzheimers society, I want to be able to contribute as much as possible to them to help them continue their ground breaking research into dementia so that hopefully in times to come families don't have to experience loved ones suffer from this.
If you could contribute as much, or as little, as you can, anything would be greatly apprieciated. If you are unable to donate on this and would like to sponsor me to do the marathons I would encourage you to approach me in person, as I have sponsor sheets waiting to be filled out, so that I am able to raise as much money as I can for this amazing charity. Thank you for taking your time to read this.
If you have any questions or comments to make about my planned event please don't think twice about getting in contact. Also, if anyone would like and be able to run or cycle with me for any part of the event please get in contact as all support would be greatly apprieciated.
Also i would be greatly appreiciative if anyone could share this page on Facebook or tweet it on Twitter to try get the word out to more people, and help me to reach my target.
Thank you everyone.
Please dig deep and donate now.
