Johnny Mac's Mad Marathon Challenge

Who am I and what do you want to know about me?

I am a 40 (something) with a wonderful family of which without their support I would not be able to do this run.

I am a forces veteran of 13 years and have had the privilege of serving all over the world in a number of roles.

My first marathon experience was in 1999 where with less than 6 weeks training, I took to the roads of London finishing an agonising run in a little under 6 hours! I swore at that I would never do another marathon again...............

2000, 2001 & 2003 marathons later, it was time to finally hang up the running shoes for good..................

Or so I thought!

Since 2003, my level of fitness has declined and the "timber" has added a few lbs to an ageing frame. I have also suffered a stroke, that left me temporarily wheelchair bound and more recently suffering from depression and even as late as December 2014, being diagnosed with two tumours in my throat that have now been diagnosed as cancer of the thyroid.

So as you can see from this snapshot above, I am no "Mo Farrah"!

However this will NOT stop me to "plod" around the sights and streets of London to raise funds for Macmillan.

Please feel free to pop along to my fundraising page via the link opposite.

I am also on the lookout for corporate sponsors to help me to hit my £3000 target.

If you would like to see your company logo on the car "built" around me whilst I train on the streets of North Wales and on the streets of London, please feel free to get in touch today via email at [email protected] or you can call me direct on 07925 153606
