In February i decided to run a Marathon in memory of my Best Friend - Phil Kirby.

I tryed to get into the London Marathon but with only 8 weeks to go, that proved impossible. Luckily through my Saucony Rep i was able to get late entry into the Brighton Marathon.

So, 8 weeks to get myself into shape having not done much in the way of real exercise for 8 years...

but i do like a challenge

The money raised will be split between 2 charities,the Norfolk Heart Trust and also for a new charity called ' JDP Defib Fund' ,  this is especially important in the treatment of Sudden Cardiac Death which can affect young, fit people.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
