Story

Update: This page started off as my London Marathon page, but I have decided to up the ante and run 4 marathons this year... 

I will be running:

London Marathon (April) Completed in 3h28m36s; New Forest Marathon (September) completed in 3h35m03s; Bournemouth (October) completed in 3h41m58s; and Portsmouth Coastal Marathon (December) competed in 3h31m37s; NB: I was planning on doing the Southdowns marathon in June 2016 but had to postpone it till 2017 due to injury, hence why I've replaced it with the New Forest Marathon in September... yes I'm a little bit mental!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, and hopefully sponsoring me a few of your hard earned pennies towards this great cause.

In April I will be donning my running shoes to have a little run around the capital with a few thousand others... yes its London marathon time! 26.2 miles.... plus the 650 so so miles that I will run between January and the marathon itself!

As you may know, Aoife, our oldest daughter had a first epileptic seizure about 18 months ago, but now with the right medical care and medication she has been seizure free for just over a year! We are very lucky, many people do not respond so well to medication, and their seizures remain frequent and uncontrollable. That's why I'm trying to raise a few quid, well £2000 to be precise!
