Having managed a single marathon in 2012, I have now decided to increase the pain by signing up for both Manchester and London Marathons in 2014. These take place just a week apart, on 6th and 13th April, and I'm looking for your help to raise as much money as possible for my chosen charity, The Lord's Taverners.

This charity has its roots in cricket, a sport very close to my heart, but you will also have seen the distinctive donated minibuses that are used to enable young disabled people to get active.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
