I am not going to labour the point here but I'm doing a marathon. Big deal. It is a big deal to me. Its because I am doing it , not for me, but to help others. I am doing it to help raise awareness and raise much needed funds for Rob Burrow, the former Leeds Rhinos rugby league player, and everyone in the MND community. The funds will help research into this horrific condition and to create a space in Seacroft for the community.

I have been running for a few years. Not to any degree of success and I am never going to win anything but thats not really the point. I enjoy the outdoors, the open spaces and the mud that comes with trail running. When I say running, this really is the loosest sense of the word.

As an adult there are few times you can go out and play in the mud. Cross country and trail running gives me that return to childhood.

The video posted here hopefully introduces me and if you want, I would love you to support my adventure on my Just Giving Page I'm running for Rob
