<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.&nbsp; In 2010, I completed the North Pole&nbsp;Marathon in aid of The Elizabeth Foundation, a local charity supporting deaf children.&nbsp; During 2011, I&nbsp;began an&nbsp;attempt to complete&nbsp;30 Marathons in 30 consecutive weeks in celebration of the charity's&nbsp;30th Anniversary.&nbsp; Like most things this escalated and I ended up managing 54 marathons.&nbsp; It didn't seem appropriate to stop running in our very own Olympic year, so I've kept on going and recently passed through 70 marathons in 70 weeks.&nbsp; This year I'll attempt events such as the Quadzilla 4 in 4 days, Himalaya 5 in 5 days, Thames Trot 50miler, London to Brighton 62miler and in August the Centurion 100 mile continuous footrace across the North Downs, with the aim of finishing in under 24 hours.&nbsp; All being well I should complete my 100th actual marathon in July and my 100 in 100 weeks by December 2012!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Please sponsor me for a great charity!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So far some of my favourite events and times are as follows;&nbsp;</p> <table style="width: 183pt;
