Dear All,
This is the first chapter in the quest to satisfy my masochistic tendencies:-)!!
I am doing the marathon for a number of reasons but predominantly because I have been affected by loved ones suffering a stroke. My Aunt passed away very suddenly a few years ago which made me realise how fragile and vulnerable we all ultimately are, and secondly my mum had a bad stroke last year which has left her both bed ridden and unable to communicate or even do the simplest things in life which we take for granted.
Anyway I feel the urge (I must be mad!!) to have a gentle canter (or stagger) around London in April and give a little bit back for all the help and care given to my family. Soooooooooooooooo as a little bit of encouragment (or a lot!!)I would like you all to dig deep......and give generously to this very worthwhile charity.
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page and for sponsoring me online.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Stroke Association will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support....and please come and cheer me and the thousands of others on.......I will be giving regular updates as to my progress (up to 9 miles and counting at the mo........aiming for a sub 4 hour time) ...............Cheers Chris
