Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

***UPDATE***UPDATE***UPDATE***UPDATE***

Yo Adrian, i did it!! I started as part of 50,000 or so similarly unhinged people and as i jogged over the start line i got a high five off Ellie Simmonds and Mo Farrah. It all went downhill from then onwards but I managed to get across the finish line in 2 hours and 50 minutes, which I am really pleased with. Anyway, thanks for visiting, read the blurb underneath and if you feel like sponsoring me, it really would be amazing, I did kind of almost kill myself in the name of charity.

.On September 16th I'm running, or attempting to run at least, the Great North Run. My son Arnie, has an undiagnosed genetic syndrome and amongst other things, can't walk at the moment. My chosen charity, Get Kids Going, exists to help children and young adults just like Arnie get into all kinds of sports, so they can be just like everyone else. This ranges from the most basic of help right up to funding British paralympians.

As you're reading this, you will know me and will no doubt also know that i am by no means considered a fit individual. But doing a sponsored 24 hour chinese buffet sitting, wouldn't present nearly as much of a challenge as the Great North Run now would it? The training has already begun, and there will be a lot of sweat, some tears, and maybe even some blood spilled before i make it to the finish line. So please, if you could spare some money, a donation for this extremely worthy cause would be super!
