I've always harboured the desire to run a 10k and having now done that and a half marathon there is only one more step to take...the full marathon.

On April 21st, the day before my 38th birthday I shall take part in the 2013 London Marathon. I can't promise I'll be quick...or even run the whole way...but one way or another I'll make it! My runner number is 11610

If you can spare a little money a little cash in exchange for a great deal of blood, sweat and tears on my part that would be amazing and I thank you.
