Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year would be my dads 70th birthday (Jan 28th), which seems absolutely bonkers. We lost him in Dec 2005 to a heart attack aged 53 which left us all devastated. 

This July I am going to be running 53 miles in a single event in memory of him, and to hopefully raise some money to support Heart Research UK. 

Training has begun following a nasty knee injury last year and things are going well. This run will be self driven and not part of an official event, so I am planning on running past local landmarks and across Salisbury Plain whilst keeping home as a replenishment stop at various times of the run.

My aim is to complete this run in 12 hours and ANYONE can come and join me, even if its for a mile or at the finish. At the finish I plan to also have my first beer of the year and hopefully the biggest burger I can find!

If you can donate, even a £1, please support me in finishing this monster of a run.
