Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Some of you already know that i used a wheelchair and could not walk unaided for around 5 years of my life.  Doctors told me that i would never walk unaided again, but hey they can be wrong!  Obviously i can walk/run ect now but this was only achieved through sheer determination on my part.  So i know first hand that life can hand you a rough deal.  I have learned many lessons from this and continue to this day to take drugs for the condition on a daily basis.  Sometimes people need help and guidance to rebuild themselves following illness, accidents, and surgery especially children and the parents of those children.  

So running is a double deal for me firstly its gives me a chance to give back and help others that have been dealt a rough deal, secondly the feeling of euphoria for me that i can even contemplate running it.

I know that the training is going to be tough but i have the determination.  

So please guys just give what you can even a little can go a long way.
