Update:  The London Marathon 2021 was completed on 3 October 2021 in 4:25 hrs.  It wasn't the greatest time but the course does get busy with runners stopping / walking from around the 18 mile point.  It means a lot of weaving through.  There was no walking on my part.

Thank you to everyone that has helped raise a fantastic sum, which currently stands as £2,500.

Update: The Royal Air Forces Association kindly transferred our 2020 entries to the 2021 Virgin London Marathon, 3 October 2021. So I am now training to achieve this date and your continued support for this great cause is sincerely appreciated.

Due to Covid-19, the running calendar has been pretty poor and the last lead-up event was the Plymouth Half Marathon, 5 September 2021, finishing in 1:54 hrs.  Earlier in the year I run the Shepperdine Marathon, 25 April 2021 in 4:20 hrs, a road marathon; and a hilly trial marathon at the Farthingstone Foot Fest, 5 June 2021, in 5:29 hrs.

Update: So 2020 saw the London Marathon become a virtual event.  The idea was to run a total of 26.2 miles at any time on 4 October 2020. Rather than just complete a random run I ran the Clarendon Marathon, a hilly trail route in horrendous conditions (Storm Alex). Completing it in 5:03 hrs.  Thank you for all the support provided.

2020 is the 40th year of the London Marathon and the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.  Having been in the Royal Air Force for over 20 years I will be running London Marathon 2020 to fund raise for The Royal Air Force Association, a charity which helps and supports the wider RAF family.  Anyone who can support me in this fundraising would be contributing to a worthwhile cause, close to my heart.

When someone in the RAF family needs help, the charity they turn to is the Royal Air Forces Association.  Whatever their need, they can rely on the Association every step of the way to give practical assistance, expert advice and emotional support.  

Throughout life's challenges, the RAFA are there for them, in person and on the phone, like a good friend should be.  They are there whenever an injured airman is fighting to get back on their feet or the widow of a WWII veteran needs a shoulder to lean on.  They are there when a family needs support to stay strong and connected despite the separation that comes with RAF service.  They are trusted to work tirelessly to make sure no member of the RAF family ever feels alone or unsupported.

Your amazing fundraising support helps the Royal Air Force Association to achieve so much.  To find out more go to: www.rafa.org.uk
