My personal message:

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Mid April Update!

Well - thats it.  Training is over. Did my last longish run this weekend - have been tapering down over the last 2 weeks.  Just a week to go to the big day now.

Have run about 400 miles since Christmas in training, including Brighton and Wilmslow half marathons. Overall its gone pretty well, so lets just hope it all goes to plan next Sunday!

Particular thanks to Mark for keeping me going, I couldn't have got to this point without you.

Thanks so much to everyone who has sponsored me so far, it has been a real motivator - you are all superstars!

i'm running for HEART UK, which is an extremely worthwhile charity (as they all are, of course). 

Mark is running for Shelter,another deserving charity.  You can sponsor him at
www.justgiving.com/mdabarrett


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: HEART UK 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!

Thanks!

Mark
