TCS London Marathon 2024

Donate to Tony and help them hit their goal of £2000!

I'm taking part in the TCS London Marathon as part of #TeamStroke

I joined #TeamStroke for the TCS London Marathon 2024.

Most of you will know that this is a subject very close to my heart having lost my Dad to a major Stroke last year. However we will be eternally grateful for the 11 wonderful years that we had with him following his other major stroke in 2011.

This will be my first ever marathon at the tender age of 55 and so is not a small undertaking, but this is for Dad so I'm going to give it my best.

There are over 1.3 million stroke survivors in the UK, with 100,000 strokes happening in the UK each year. That's one stroke every five minutes.

The association is here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. They believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke, so work with the stroke community to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support. 

The Stroke Association rely on your support to provide vital services, campaign for better stroke care and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.

My updates

I DID IT

Tuesday 7th May
Job done, 26.2 miles completed in 4hrs and 38 minutes.
It was a truly amazing experience and we have raised a fantastic amount for the Stroke Association, so a huge thank you to everyone one of you.

3 weeks to go

Friday 29th Mar
That’s it, third and final long training run done (21 miles)! This one felt so much better than the others. Now time to rest and prepare for the big day.
A massive thank you to everyone who has donated, I’m blown away by your support.

7 weeks to go

Sunday 17th Mar
07/03/2024 It’s 7 weeks to go to the London Marathon and it’s all getting very real. My Stroke Association run top has arrived this morning, the sponsoring is going good but I still have a way to go to hit my £2,000 target. Training is also still progressing well and I’m just back from a 3hour training run covering 18.5 miles (only another 8 to do on the day) giving me a weekly total of 38 miles.

January update

Wednesday 17th Jan
Well it's now starting to get real. 
It's only 13 weeks until the London Marathon and so I have training plans all over my desk telling me what I should do and when and the good news is that my training is on target. 
I'm  running 3 times a week (totaling over 20 miles) and also squeezing in a couple of early morning gym sessions. 
So basically there is no turning back now and I couldn't be more determined to complete the marathon and hopefully in a respectable time.
I also need to push on with the sponsorship as I am running for the Stroke Association and have a long way to go, all donations are gratefully received and so please give generously.

Thank you to my sponsors
