Story

Thanks you so much for visiting my justgiving page. I am running my first ever marathon for Shooting Stars Chase and my aim is to raise £2,622 (£100 per mile) for this wonderful charity.

Shooting Star Children's Hospices cares for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families across Surrey and London.  Whether lives are measured in days, weeks, months or years, they are here to make every moment count.  They support families from diagnosis to end of life and throughout bereavement with a range of nursing, practical, emotional and medical care.

Being a dad to 2 healthy sons, I can only imagine what these families must face every day.  I know that running the Brighton Marathon will be made easier by knowing I am raising much needed funds for these life-limited children.

Please donate as little or as much as you can to support this charity and motivate me on those long and difficult runs!  I don't think I realised just how tough training to run a marathon would be or how much it would take over my life.Thank you in advance for your support!
