My Story

I am running the GNR to help those in need. I lost my own father to cancer but also during my career I have worked alongside many ex military. They were all so proud to have served there country. 

This opportunity for me to raise money for a good cause has rekindled my want to get fit again after a long lapse. 

Please give what you can.
