It's never too late for a mid life crisis, so this year I decided to see if I could cross a desert, climb a mountain and run a marathon. Not back to back mind...it's called "recovery" nowadays. I've done the first two, so here comes the REALLY hard one. Sunday November 4th will see me pounding the streets of the Big Apple, re-living a (much) earlier life when this sort of thing didn't seem to be so daunting.

BUT IT'S NOT (ALL) ABOUT ME. I'm trying to raise some funds for a great cause too.

See this link for the why this is so important :

Project AWARE is one of those organizations that does the sort of stuff we all wish we could help with, if only the rest of our lives weren't so in the way. Founded in 1989 by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), it is now a movement helping divers in over 180 countries to work together for a clean, healthy and abundant ocean. Activities include beach and reef cleaning, coral reef monitoring, shark rallies, and marine debris data collection, all vital in delivering the ultimate vision of The Return to A Clean, Healthy Ocean. 

I'd really appreciate it if you were able to be a sponsor, to both help Project AWARE in their work and let me see off my year of living dangerously-ish…
