Intro

The very late blog about my mojo is here at last

Thanks for coming to the page. I was really pleased to deliver at the Juice FM Business Breakfast this morning - thanks so much for having me. For those interested in my blogs, this is the one that got people talking, but feel free to read them all!

Welcome, and thanks for taking the time to visit my website. This is me (right). During 2011, I plan to run a total of 52 marathons – all of them in under four hours. If I come in over this time, that run won’t count. 

I will be constantly updating this site with my schedule, a blog (a lot of which will be video) and various anecdotes and bits of information. Hopefully it’ll keep it interesting for myself and for supporters. 

So why am I doing it? A few reasons, really. First and foremost, I like to challenge myself. What better than doing something over an entire year?!

Secondly, to raise money for two great charities Passingiton and Rethink, Survivors of Suicide. Both are located in or have support groups in Brighton and both do amazing jobs. You can find out more about them by clicking the CHARITIES tab above. 

Thirdly, to raise awareness of what the charities do and the fantastic work of the people involved. Passingiton was conceived by two blokes from Brighton – two blokes who have dedicated a world of time and effort to helping change the lives of children in Africa. 

Finally, suicide is such a taboo subject. Those who attempt it, those who are bereaved by it carry a stigma. Trust me – I know. My dad killed himself. It wasn’t the greatest experience of my year, but I want to use it to raise awareness of something that should be talked about openly and without whispers.

So anyway, thanks for looking. Keep coming back – it’ll be updated, it’ll be interesting and I’ll keep it fun.
