Hey Everyone, 

Thank you so much for dropping by and checking out my Just Giving Page. 

I am proud to be able to be raising some much needed funds for the charity, Chicken Shed. 

They are an amazing charity that really do change the lives of all, through the power of giving young people the opportunity of being on the stage! Everyone should have this opportunity. 

They hold weekly workshops for over 900 children and young people, providing them with a safe and rewarding environment where they can gain a new-found confidence and have the chance to regularly perform in major in-house productions.

So, you may be asking yourself, why has Chris chosen a 'Marathon' to take part in and in turn, raise some funds for charity, let alone, The London Marathon!! :)

If you follow me on social media, since September 2020 - caught up with me over zoom, an email or txt, you will know, I made a health changing, personal lifestyle decision, that - enough was enough! 

Physically, I was close to 18 stone, unhealthy, loved a bike ride but even that was becoming challenging for me. I was out of breath just walking up the stairs and my mental health wasn't great. 

Fast forward to May 2021, I have come along way since then. Determination, consistency and have found that health, good nutrition and my wellbeing was the focus I needed to enjoy my life to it's fullest! There is no going back! 

I can honestly say, before, I would never have thought I would have been able to walk a marathon, let alone run one!! 

I  am super grateful to have been given this opportunity, to take part in this year's London Marathon, and I intend to grab it with everything I have and go for it. This is going to be a huge overwhelming, personal achievement for me to accomplish and every penny that is raised for the charity, will really will spur me on and give something back. Bring it on !

See you at the finish line on the Sunday 3rd October 2021, for a well deserved pint! (Water of course)
