Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. IF YOU WISH TO DONATE £10 TO TAKE PART IN MY ' GUESS MY TIME ' COMPETEITON, PLEASE DONATE THEN MESSAGE ME OR COMMENT YOUR PREDICTION. THE COMPETITION IS TO GUESS MY COMBINATION TIME OVER MY 2 MARATHONS. THE WINNER WILL WIN £100 AMAZON VOUCHERS & IF THERE IS ENOUGH DONATIONS I WILL ALSO INCLUDE £50 MEAL VOUCHER ASWELL. FOR GUESSING REFERENCE, MY LAST 2 MARATHONS HAVE BEEN ' 3:34 & 3:26 '... WILL I GET QUICKER? OR WILL I STALL? THAT PREDICTION OS UP TO YOU :) BUT KNOW THAT I AM TRAINING HARD TO GET THE BEST TIME POSSIBLE. I am running 2 World Major Marathon races in 2 weeks in 2 different continents. I am running the Berlin Marathon on the 24th September 2023 followed by the Chicago Marathon on October 8th 2023. I am doing this for 2 reasons. On a personal level, I used to be an overweight non runner & I am now a well on the way to having x3 out of the 6 World Major Marathon medals. I like to show people you can achieve anything you have a passion to achieve, and that buy pushing your body physically to achieve something such as a marathon makes you feel truly alive. The mental health benefits of running has changed my life & I hope my journey may inspire more to start their own journey. Please help me support this great cause 

I am also doing this in remembrance of my best friend Luke Bartlett who sadly passed away in April 2022 at just 32 years old after a battle with Cancer. Luke supported my marathon journey greatly & helped me raise over £2000 in 2020 for Save The Children as part of my London Marathon journey. Luke greatly supported this charity & i want to continue the work we started together.
