Over 12 years ago I left a steady well paid job and started my own business. This increased my workload 3 fold and increased my travel to at least 3 times a week.  That was probably the busiest time of my life whilst I learnt new business skills and worked to get customers on board. I was fortunate enough to have the support of my friends and family  during this period. The thing that still amazes me is that despite all this overload of work I still managed to dedicate time to complete a successful marathon.

So here I am 12 years on still extremely busy but for some reason "I don't have time to train" . My previous experience tells me that it is a mind set that one needs to change if they are going to achieve this kind of goal. The pleasure of sharing this experience with my Daughter, Faye, has certainly helped to get me back into the training.  We don't plan to break any records but we do both plan to finish the 26.2 miles course. 

Please show us your support by donating to a great charity that helps children who simply don't meet the criteria of larger charities but still need help. 

Thank you for any donation you are able to give.

Mark.
