This is my daughter supporting me at 1st Avenue in New York when I was running the NYC Marathon 2007. I was running for MS Society and so far have raised £4000.

Was at work, in the evening, felt really proud that I had dotted all the i's and crossed the t's and was upto date with work, even mentioned this to my colleague. On my way back home my phone rang, it was my daughter ''dad you have forgotten to pick me up. I am still at school and it has almost been an hour since the football coaching had finished''. Rushed to school picked her up and blamed the traffic for my delay. Must have a reminder on my phone on days to pick up my daughter. Feel absolutely stupid. Don't have the guts to tell my daughter. Hopefully one day. It's not the first time for me, let my wife down a couple of occasions, that's another story.

I ran the great north run, which is a half marathon ffrom Newcastle to South Shields in England on 01/10/2006. This is my second attempt. I walked half way last year, and ran allof it this year and improved on my time by 45 minutes. If I can keep the same progress in a few years time I can compete with the world's best.
I have raised more that £500.00 for MS Society and raising. MS is a chronic neurological disease, my wife has the disease. Given her race, we lived in India until her mid twenties she has a chance of almost a billion to one to get the disease, She was the unfortunate one,
There are pics and hopefully a video of me finishing the race.
