I have decided to run this years London Marathon. As many of you know I love playing and watching sport but have never undertaken anything of this nature. Previously the furthest I have ever gone is 10 miles running the long ducker as a schoolboy aged 13! This is certainly going to be a huge personal challenge.

This is not something I am planning on repeating, it is very much a one off.

I have been very fortunate to have been given a place  by British Blind Sport. As a father of 3 very active young boys I feel strongly about giving partially sighted children especially as much access to sports as possible. BBS helps blind and partially sighted people get active and play sport. Sport and recreational activities can enhance the lives of people with visual impairments, by improving their health and increasing their social interaction. BBS encourages adults and children to participate in activities at all levels, from grassroots to the Paralympic Games.
