I have been waiting to annouce formally that I am running a Marathon later this year. By all accounts I have choosen the hardest Marathon in the UK, my local one, the Snowdonia Marathon. I heard late last night after sending an email that my application has been accepted, so I now have 3 months to get prepared.
One of the main reasons that I am running it is not only for the immense personal challenge, but I also want to try and raise funds for Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team, where along with fellow rescue team member Brian Will we are going to try and raise as much money as possible to help the team fund its ongoing work rescuing climbers, hillwalker and other users of the Mountainous terrain in and around Snowdon.
I am sure you’ll get bored of me blogging about both my training and fundraising efforts, more of which on my goal for the marathon in a later blog, probably sometime next week, as it fits in with a couple of stories that will make more sense after Sunday!
Anyway, There is a link to mine and Brian’s Just Giving Site below. There is also a link to a small website about the challenge here, we are trying to get some corporate sponsor on board, so if there is anything that you can offer us, even if it is just a raffle prize or some free advertising, I will put you a banner up on this website until the Marathon. I’ll get a just giving icon up on the side bar at some point so you can see how badly we are doing on the fundraising front.
