On the 18th May 2014 I suffered horrendous burns in a freak accident that nearly cost me my life.  Last year I ran the 1/2 marathon for Ward 45 where I had received the life saving care but as I recovered in hospital the Architects Benevolent Society stepped in to assist my family in their time of need.  Their financial and moral support was of great comfort to my wife and daughters and also to me.  They continued to assist us until we got back on our feet and have kept in touch as we have rebuilt our lives.

The work they do is fabulous and we will forever be in their debt.  By running the Great Scottish Run 1/2 marathon I hope to continue to assist them with their fundraising and hope you will support me and my team.

Like last year I do not want to do this alone so challenge yourself and sign up for the 1/2 marathon or the 10k and join my team.  You can sign up here http://greatscottishrun.com/ and in case you've forgotten and need inspiration, here's my story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrxki4ecWVc
