The London Marathon in 2024 will be my 20th consecutive LM so I have decided it will be my last one and it is time to handover the "baton" for completing this fantastic course. The challenge of completing the LM and raising vital funds for charity has changed significantly over the last 20 years but one thing that hasn't changed is the importance of this money to help those less fortunate.

As an Ambassador for Abigail's Footsteps I have seen how the charity help in many ways, from creating sympathetic space for parents in hospitals, to providing much needed equipment for parents to spend longer with their babies whilst also offering specialist baby loss counselling sessions.

Over the fundraising timeline between November and April I will be "taking part" in a number of events to raise vital funds for Abigail's.

November - Men's Health month. Over the years I have been fortunate not to have had any major injuries or illnesses. I will be celebrating this by "doing my own way challenge" and turning everything on it's head, literally! I will be "growing a mo" whilst also "braving the shave". From a physical point of view I will be running at least 100km, in recognition of men's mental health.

More challenges will follow.......

Please help us raise vital funds by supporting me to complete these challenges, whether you give a little or a lot it makes a huge difference.

Thank you.
