Story

After a great training schedule, February 2016 was a disaster tearing my meniscus in my left knee on an early training run. Had to drop out of the 2016 London Marathon. Gutted!

Gutted, not only did I not run, but let the charity and all those who sponsored and raised money for me. Automatically, I have my place in 2017, but worried about my knee.

Given I have already had 6 left knee operations, surgeons not keen to operate again, let alone run the marathon.

Back lightly jogging with a knee brace and the most shock absorbent Ascis money can buy. Tell alone feeling the burn, also feel a little pain and suffering.

Determined that the Marathon will be run!

Please continue to support me and Newlife.
