Let me take you back 5 years…….

 

Barry ate what he wanted, smoked 20 Embassy a day, life was good……

 

5 years later, although he’s stopped smoking he’s gained 4 stone and his view on exercise was something strange people did dressed in fluorescent tops and spandex….

 

In early April he started running, not far at 1^st but soon was giving Forrest Gump a run for his money. 8 weeks later he got roped in to doing the Manchester 10k and finished with a respectable time of 50 mins.

 

He’s now taken up the challenge of running a Half Marathon and has chosen a fantastic Charity to support in the British Heart Foundation – He’s set a target of raising £500 so If you could please donate as little ( or as much!! ) as you can spare he’d really appreciate it.
