Sponsor Gareth to run the Paris Marathon

To celebrate/commemorate my 40th year, I will be attempting my debut Marathon in Paris on 5th April!

I entered myself with the hope of running a sub four hour time, shedding a few unwanted pounds and raising some money for a good cause.


Despite a killer training regime, my weight has only slightly diminished and 4 hours looks like a very distant prospect! I am therefore concentrating my efforts on the fundraising – and hope you can help.

I am raising money for a very worthy cause – Rainbows Children Hospice, which provides help and support for young people
with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.


Matt Byrne (my friend and training partner), has a daughter Sophie who is a regular visitor to Rainbows. I know what fantastic work they do and the benefit both Sophie and her carers get from their help.


For more information on Rainbows click here:


I’ve set up a Justgiving site – so you can quickly make a donation if you’d like to.


Donate here:

Hopefully if we can raise a little bit of money, it might even encourage me to run a little faster and help numb the pain.

If all else fails, in true French style, runners are offered red wine and cheese at 20 miles – a key factor in choosing Paris for my debut!

I hope you are well, and look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards


Gareth
