Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having grown up near RAF Scampton under the skies used month in, month out by the Red Arrows to train, I was as shocked as anybody by the loss of Flt Lt Jon Egging in 2011. However out of these tragic circumstances, his legacy has had a massive positive impact of the lives of many young people through the work of the Jon Egging Trust.

Initially I ran the Lincoln Half Marathon in October however as I am now into my 22nd year in the RAF, I thought I would go for something a little more challenging. Already using part of the Water Railway which follows the River Witham between Lincoln and Boston, to train for the Half Marathon, I will run the distance between two major landmarks in my home county. Those being the Boston Stump and Lincoln Cathedral. Yes it is extreme and it will be hard work on the knees however with proper training and preparation I fully believe it is achievable.

Off the back of the tremendous support I receivEd for my challenge, JET very kindly offered me a VIP place in this year's Great North Run taking place on Sun 9 Sept. I know I have had awesome support for my challenge but if anybody can support me further with then it would be really really appreciated. Since my challenge I have seen first hand the great work JET does and this has only served to make me want to help more.
