It's arrived, I am now officially registered for the 2007 ING New York City Marathon. Yes that's right, on November the 4th I will take to the streets of New York in an attempt to run for 26.2 miles. There are many reasons for me doing this ranging from a need to get fit and a long desire to actually achieve something, but mainly it's for the challenge and charity, I am running for The Anthony Nolan Trust who help save lives from leukaemia by providing lifesaving donors for patients in need of a bone marrow transplant. Having lost 2 friends; Mickey Bundle and Johnny Allen to Leukaemia in the past 3 years and having watched my fellow rugby player Sam Hart walk single-handedly from Newcastle to London, I have been inspired to throw on my running shoes and to go and do something a bit silly, 26.2 miles it is.

Born in a small village in the middle of Northumberland 30 miles north of Newcastle and 30 miles south of Scotland. Second son of Noel and Joan and brother of Kevin.
Moved to London in 93 to the bright lights and big city. Now blissfully married to Amy and proud Dad to daughter Alice.
Part of one of the most interesting and up and coming small fintech companies going.
First XV 2nd row for the famous Southgate RFC based in North London, and now foolishly going to try to run a marathon.
