Story

This attempt at running a marathon is for Alex. He truly believes that running is pointless, and that there are far better things to do with your time, like hurling yourself down a mountain on two wheels, with only a hat and some gloves for protection. Nevertheless, I'm a scaredy cat, so I'm planning to raise an amount of money, in my good friend's memory, by doing something exhausting and difficult, but less terrifying, whether he approves of it or not.

You'll no doubt gather from the pictures on this page that Alex is an adventurous maverick. Brave, fearless, hilarious. Unfortunately, no amount of wordsmithery can do this man justice. He's an awesome bloke and missed by countless people. Please sponsor me to run this absurd distance. Go on. You know you want to.

Thanks for popping by. Feel free to stop by again. You can sponsor me more than once you know. It's not against the rules.
