Story

Hi Everyone...

 

 

Some of you will know that I am running in the Virgin London Marathon again this year and for those of you who didn't...well, you do now.  You will also now realise I am after your money...again...!

There is just something about 26.2 miles that makes me want to do it again...and again...and again, oh and again!  So, why Regain.......so many reasons really, and I don't want to bore you all so much you fall asleep and forget to donate.  As far as charities go this is a smaller one and they are the ones that tend to need our help more.   Also, raising money for a sports related charity by running in one of the most famous sporting events seems to go hand in hand and some of you may also know that over the years I have had a few scrapes, the outcomes could have been so very different and it could have been me who needed their help.  Anyway, Regain has got hold of my heart and I hope I have got hold of your money, haha!!! 

I ran for Regain in 2010 when I got to know one of its Directors, Roger Belson, who lived locally.  Sadly, Roger passed away just over a year ago & I know he is sorely missed and because I know the kind of man he was I was desperate to run for Regain again.

I know its January & just about the toughest month to be asking for money but this really is a great charity, it's unique & it's very small so it needs all the help it can get. Please help me to help them.

For my part in all of this, I promise to put in the miles, to look after myself, to do everything I can to get to that start line and across the finish.

Please take a look at their website to see how fantastic they are http://www.regainsportscharity.com/
