Story

I have decided to try and do something a little different for Charity each year.  2014 is no exception. This year I will be making my way around the coast of the Isle of Wight in 24 hours, a distant of 107 Kilometres (over double the distance of a marathon) 

I will set off at around 9am on Saturday 23rd August, travelling through the day and the night, completing my challenge by 9am the following morning. Taking in many amazing coastal views and no doubt being affected by the wonderful English weather.

As I cross the finish line, I will be treated to a glass of champagne, and a bacon buttie.  Sounds like a decent breakfast to me

Why am I doing this, simple. A lot of people are affected by Cancer and I have seen first hand how this disease affects individuals and also their families.  I just want to help.  In visiting this page, I hope that you can find it in your hearts to support me.  It doesn't matter if it's 50p or £20 - it's your donations that will spur me on to complete the challenge.
