Special donation received

Thank you to Mark Heasman for his donation of a book celebrating 40 years of British Sport that was sent to John Major in 1993when he was the UK’s Prime Minister. Many of the images in the book are signed by heroes including Roger Bannister, Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton and Tessa Sanderson. We will be arranging an auction of the book soon. If you’d like to be kept informed, please just let me know..

2025 started off slowly but has rapidly stepped up several levels!

In February , I was honoured to be part of Zurich Team AEFAT and ran the Seville marathon. It was particularly special to be joined by Janet, Mike, Dan and Beth

March means more races and more mileage. I’m joining the incredible Neil Russell for the last 26.2miles as he runs the 100 miles from Oxford to Cambridge , giving Parkinson’s a black eye in the process

Before that, I’ll be visiting the Eternal City to run the Rome Marathon. Rome was built on 7 hills but I hope that the course sticks close to the Tiber.
