Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I want to raise money for Help for Heroes and have decided to run the Berlin Marathon in September 2008 in order to do this.  I am currently in training and it's killing me - I'm getting too old for this malarkey and I have to stay off the booze in order to get my runs in!  However, it's a small price to pay when our lads and lasses are sweating their preverbials off in Afghanistan and Iraq and putting their lives on the line every day and when it all goes pear shaped we need them to be looked after.
 
So please sponsor me, this is what Help for Heroes is about:
 
It’s about the blokes, our men and women. It’s about Derri, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It’s about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It is about Ben, its about Steven and Andy and Mark, its about them all. They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes.  We want to help our heroes.' 
So please sponsor me now!

I did it!  It took me 5 hours and 14 minutes and I was in horrendous pain but I got there in the end.  Thanks to everyone who sponsored me - it kept me going whilst I ran/limped around 26.2 miles!
