Story

Hi Everyone

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

For the people that don't know me i am 24 i have never done anything athletic in my life and am partial to the odd beer or seven and chocolate and basicly anything thats bad for you. So when i told everyone that i was going to run the London Marathon next year many people didnt belive it, But three months in of my training i am up to ten mile runs and things are looking good. Not to say that its been easy getting up early and going out in all weather !

I am Running for World Emergency Relief which is a great charity that helps poor starving children in some of the most deprived parts of the world. It is only a very small charity and need constant donations to carry on this vital work.

Remember i am running 26.4 MILES so please give generously and thank you for your support.

PS. PLEASE SAY YES TO GIFT AID !

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

UPDATE 09/03/11:

With just over one month to go training is really starting to get hard. I have just got engaged to my long time partner Jemma and couldn't be happier. But of cause with the engagement came the party which means BEER n choc lol (My Weakness). Now thats all over i have got to get back into the routine. I have had a few setbacks on the way, (Just look at the pics) i really thought this would be easy BUT ITS REALLY NOT. It helps to know how many of you are supporting me out there and i will only keep nagging until you DONATE SOME MONEY !!! lol

I'll do one more blog before the big day and let you know how im getting on. wish me luck !
