Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On April 7th I'll be running the Milan Marathon with my Dad, Matthew. As most of you reading this will know, neither of us are what you might call 'natural runners' but every year we take on a European marathon to satisfy our slight mental chemical imbalance. We're now well into our training schedule with just over two months to go till the big day.

I don't normally fundraise for these marathons but this year I have been inspired to do so. A former colleague of mine at TfL, Mike Rowland sadly passed on suddenly on December 27th 2012. Mike ran 20+ London Marathons raising money for Water Aid and was one of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet. I'm asking for donations for Water Aid in Mike's memory this year and hope to raise £500 by running the Milan Marathon. I'll keep this page updated with any interesting photos or anecdotes from my training runs and the big day itself, April 7th.
