Story

I am planning on this being my 10th and final London Marathon.  I say final loosely as I have been promising my legs this for several years……!!! Truth be told, I just love running the London Marathon and raising much needed money for many wonderful charities that mean so much to us over the past 10 years

I am running for Shooting Stars in honour of our darling godson Jack Hermon who spent his final days in the wonderful care of this charity.

Since 2007 Jane, Jacks mum, has continued to thank Shooting Star Children Hospices by raising a huge £82,000 for them, Jane is determined to reach £100,000 and I couldn’t think of a better way to support Jane and the charity by hurting my legs one more time and getting a step closer to £100,000. 

Thank you for your donation……Simon
