Overview

...it is a simple mantra but if I can keep it going for 4 1/2 hours it should get me home.

Six years ago I ran the London Marathon. That is pretty much sufficiently long ago to forget about the pain and hardship and to put on a stone and a half. Add in an Achilles rupture 18 months ago the arrival of two wonderful daughters, less and less exercise and a likening for crisps and you can see that I have put in the best preparation over those six years to tackle another 26 miles 385 yards.

I can feel the pain already.

I'm running for Pancreatic Cancer UK, following my father's diagnosis and subsequent treatment and will be raising funds along the way.

Half Marathon PB : 1hr 54mins 20secs (see below)

Charity Raffle - help needed! and more local press coverage

I am planning a London raffle to raise further funds for PCUK - if anyone has contacts who might sponsor a prize let me know. james.harding@cheviot.co.uk

We are trying to keep prize sponsors to London firms as there is then the potential for them to get future business off the back of it BUT that doesn't mean we won't accept items from national firms.

Any help gratefully appreciated and the raffle has the full backing of PCUK (copy letter available if required)

In terms of more media coverage The Mid Sussex Times ran an article in this week's paper and I hope to persuade some of the London editions to get on board. We shall see.

Let me know if anyone can help.

James
