The Virgin London Marathon is one of the great British sporting events, combining elite athletics, mass participation and record-breaking fundraising in one race. The course is a gruelling 26 miles 385 yards long, passing through the streets of London from Blackheath to the famous finish line at The Mall. Since the first race in 1981, 746,635 runners have passed the finish line and raised more than £400 million for charities and good causes. Last year alone a staggering £47.2 million was raised, making the event a Guinness World Record holder as the largest annual fundraising event on the planet.

Thanks for visiting my page. This will be the fourth time that I have taken part in the London Marathon and the second time that I've raised money for Tourettes Action. Having played cricket for my local club for over ten years, I was approached two years ago by Zoe and Richard Streather, two club members whose son has tourettes syndrome. I’d previously completed 2 marathons and they asked if I would consider running again to raise money for Tourettes action, of which the cricket club is already a supporter. So, after a year off I’m back again and hoping to raise even more this time so please give generously!
