Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

Here we go again, 4th year running and 5th marathon. Not naturally blessed with the body of a your typical marathon runner (probably by some 5 stone) and still unable to get ham-string transplants on the NHS the previous years training have begun to take there toll so a strict diet is now in place!

As you have come to expect, my strict tea-total policy will once again be adhered too. I hope to extend my previous record of 6 days (back in 2008) by a good 24 hours! Maybe even 48 as the rumour is that the Olympic selectors will be watching.

Now for the serious part. This year I have changed my chosen charity, as you can see I am now supporting SCOPE who are the leading UK charity for both children and adults whom suffer with the condition of cerebral palsy.

Being brought up in and around a local childrens hospital for the handicapped I was made aware of the neccessary hard work involved with "CP" at an early age.

Due to a change of employer two years ago I was once again brought into contact with CP as a close colleague's brave and beautiful little 4 year old girl battles the condition.

In the hope of helping her and many others by raising a few £'s ive held off my running retirement for another year. As always any donation would be greatly appreciated especially as this one is so close to home.
