Story

Hi there, welcome to my fundraising page… park up, make yourself at home and read about my story. https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/training/motivation/a774669/human-race-a-will-of-iron/

Now imminently about to turn 50 I find am challenging myself beyond limits I have ever achieved. So far this year, I have completed a half marathon in Alloa and a full Marathon and skydive in San Francisco. Over the next three consecutive weekends I will be attempting additional challenges.
1. On the 18/09/2022 The Scottish Half Marathon will be the first and in my new age category followed by:
2. A new secret and special (first time event for me) on 25/09/2022 before:
3. heading off to London for a full marathon experience on 02/10/2022. Given the fact that I am a disabled war veteran due to a complicated medical history which include reconstructive lower limb surgeries, significant sight loss and two brain haemorrhages to name but a few. These tasks are by no means easy but if you knew me – you’d know I don’t really do easy.
Following my medical discharge in 2011 I have had the privilege to be member with Edinburgh Athletic Club where I have competed, officiated, coached/team managed and have witnessed young athletes develop their potential fromP5/6 through to university and beyond. For some children and young people the pathway can be often littered with additional barriers and this is where Cash for Kids comes in. They strive to enable those same people disadvantaged by poverty, neglect, illness and additional needs to receive the assistance that they require in order to help them realise their goals.
Everything raised in our area stays right here, with a focus on alleviating poverty, supporting disability and improving quality of life. Anything you can give is very much appreciated. After you sponsor me, it would be great if you could leave a photo or video message too!

Now at home and recovering well, with London Marathon fading into the background. The whole weekend was full of joy, excitement, pain and happy memories of the people i encountered along the way. This will be my final post before the page closes for further donations. All of my events have been epic and have truly made my 50th birthday worth celebrating and a good excuse to keep pushing my mind and body to the limits. Unfortunately the charity I have chosen has failed to support me and try to help to generate an interest in my story to boost funds. despite calling their head office i have had no follow up from the charity which i find really upsetting. Hopefully the people they support will benefit from your generosity although i can't help but feel that i could have raised more.

Sunday 25/09/2022 penultimate weekend of fundraising and “stretching life to the limit” with a bungee jump at The Riverside Museum in Glasgow. Well worth the experience and for a great cause. Thanks again to this who continue to support me with my fundraising and not forgetting this of you who are first time sponsors or even complete strangers. Really grateful.
