Can you sponsor robf in the London Marathon?

[robf]

Hello all,

 

In April I will be running the London Marathon in aid of the North Staffs Carers Association.

 

It will be my first Marathon but I have been in five months of training including two 10Ks and two half-marathons so I am confident of completing the longer distance.

 

The organisation I am trying to raise funds for is a smaller charity which doesn't get the exposure (and funding) of some of the more well-known charities. Nevertheless, North Staffs Carers have been a huge support for my mum as she cares for my dad, who suffers from dementia.

 

If you would like to sponsor me please visit my Just Giving page here:

Thank you,

 

Rob

Hi all,

 

Twenty days to go and after a 22 mile run at the weekend, the long distance training has finally ended. I'm now pretty confident I can do it and it's now a case of tapering (allowing me to recover a bit by lowering the weekly milage) ahead of the day itself.

 

I also have an official race number - 14470

 

If you're interested you can track my progress on the app available from here - https://www.virginmoneylondonmarathon.com/en-gb/event-info/spectator-info/how-follow-virgin-money-london-marathon/

 

I am not sure exactly when I will finish as there are staggered starts but it's likely to be between 2:30pm and 4:30pm.

 

Finally, if anyone does want to make a donation, all money is going to North Staffs Carers who do an amazing job.

Thanks,

Copied off Facebook for those who didn't see it. The big day (for me) is almost here...

 

So, five months on... after several hundred miles of evening/weekend runs, dozens of nightly core exercise routines ,half a dozen physio visits and the completion of the Hampton Court half-marathon my training for the London Marathon finally ends tonight. With days to go, I feel pretty darn fit (touch wood), ready and somewhat nervous. You can track me on the London Marathon website/app by runner number 14470. I'm doing all of this to raise money for the North Staffs Carers association, so if you'd like to sponsor me you can do here - https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/rob-fielding-london-marathon-2019
