Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My family have lost too many loved ones to cancer in the last few years and unfortunately more suffer from heart problems. Added to this, my wife thinks I have "lost my marbles"  with this year-long running commitment, so I am raising money for 3 charities  - Cancer Reserach, British Heart Foundation and the Altzheimers Society.

The length of the country, from John O'Groats to Lands End is over 900 miles. It is known as the 'end to end' - many people cycle it, but not many run it. I plan to, not physically, but virtually.

To complete the challenge, I will need to run the equivalent of just under a marathon a week for 52 weeks. In clocking up the miles, I will compete in over 30 events from 10k fun runs to half-marathons and even 'race a train' down a Welsh mountain in August.

By sponsoring any or all of the 3 charities I represent, you will support me in a year of effort - but you will support those in need for the rest of their lives!

Please donate as generously as you can.

Thank You
