Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page and if you've made it this far then please sponsor me generously!  I'm no longer in the Army, however I often think of those serving overseas and they need our support.  This is why I've decided to run for Help for Heroes, see www.helpforheroes.org.uk for more information.

Running the London Marathon has always been an ambition of mine; the training has started and although daunting your sponsorship will make me even more determined.  I'm hoping to complete in under 4 hours.  En-route to the London Marathon, I'm also running in the Silverstone Half-M (15th March - Amazed myself and completed in 1hr 34min 09sec) and Reading Half-M (29th March - A little stunned as I ran faster again at 1hr 31min 15sec) - so think of your sponsorship as 2 Marathons for the price of 1!

Well its over and I did it - 3hrs 44mins 55secs!  A wonderful day if a little too hot and lack of drive in the legs between Miles 17 and  21, but was able to hang on in there and get through to the finish.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Help for Heroes gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
