My Story

About us

Hello

Whilst running is not my passion, together with Jacqui, we have committed to completing the 2026 London Marathon in order to secure our London Classics medallion (we've each already completed the other two elements: Ride London and Swim Serpentine). 

Having committed to the run we thought we should raise some money for a charity.  Given that we have a daughter-in-law with hearing issues and I have a cousin in a similar position, it was apt to raise funds for deaf action.

What’s more, marathon participants have raised over a billion pounds for charity and there have been countless amazing tales of human achievement throughout the event’s history – living up to its aim of helping participants ‘to have fun, and provide some happiness and sense of achievement in a troubled world’.

I rarely seek to ask anyone to support me in events but on this occasion, and for this cause, please donate whatever you feel comfortable with - even if it is simply good advice 😉
