As an Army Officer (1984-2014) I travelled the world, made very firm friends, worked and lived with amazing people and had challenging and rewarding experiences. It was hard at times, physically and mentally, but luckily I was never seriously injured.

I am left with a deep sense of gratitude, to all of those who paid the ultimate price and to those who still struggle with physical and mental challenges, every day. They deserve the very best this country can give them.

In their memory and honour, I am undertaking what is for me (aged 54) a real challenge. Over the next 4 months, I will undertake 5 Marathons and then finish off with an Ultra Marathon along Hadrian's Wall, from Carlisle to Newcastle, to be completed in 26 Hours. Itinerary is:

Forest of Dean Half 18th March - 13.1Miles

Vale of Glamorgan Ultra 7th April - 33.0 Miles

Newport Wales Marathon 29th April - 26.2 Miles

Shakespeare Marathon - 13th May - 26.2 Miles

Brittany Marathon - 19th May - 26.2 Miles

Rat Race The Wall - 16th June - 69 Miles
