Here we go!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Holy cow, I only went and got a place to run the Marathon.....not sure whether to laugh or cry!

So, I hear you say, get over it and get on with it, so here’s the first step of what will become many by the end of the day 17th April 2011!

Anyway, how on earth did I end up here when I have never had any intention to run a marathon?  Well, I blame my wife!  Having seen Sophie somehow complete last years London Marathon I felt inspired that I should do the same.  Not just because she had some tough times in training, but also her commitment towards her chosen charity and what the money raised could do for very sick children.

Well now it’s my turn and I’ve chosen Shelter.  Please read in more detail about this amazing charity for the less fortunate than us on their website, however, in a nutshell;

Shelter is a charity that works to alleviate the distress caused by homelessness and bad housing and offer guidance to get people back on the straight and narrow.  Imagine you or someone close to you being homeless and not having the confidence or knowledge to get yourself back on your feet.

I appreciate I’m not the first or last who will be asking you for sponsorship for many good causes, however, if you have a few pounds to spare I’d be hugely appreciative for your donation.

Many thanks in advance.

Shane.
