I am proud to have been nominated to run the Windsor Half Marathon to raise essential funding for the Windsor Homeless Project. I was nominated by my wife, Marion, who happens to be a trustee of the Project’s charity. Marion is not running the Half Marathon.

After a couple of decades of not running, this is clearly the time to start. Too much too early can result in injury and so my plan is to do a lot of thinking about it, together with my coach Ginge.

I’m told that sponsorship increases motivation and so I invite you to help me along a bit. The safest bet is to sponsor me per mile, in that way your financial risk is likely to be very low. However, if you want to force me to do it all then please go for it. I’ll be thinking of you every inch of the way.
