I think it is reaching the age of 50 that makes you want to prove something to oneself (insanity perhaps?) or do something special. So to mark the milestone I decided to take part in the Virgin London Marathon 2015 on 26/04/2015 – getting far too close for comfort now.And to make it a little bit more meaningful I wanted to raise money for a worthy cause. Being a father, you realise that kids are pretty special and precious so this year I have decided to raise funds for ‘Children with Cancer UK’. I have waited this long to mention it just in case the legs packed up and I didn’t do it but I’ve survived the training so fingers crossed (I think!) I’m ready for the challenge.I know that sponsorship requests can be irritating and embarrassing so I do apologise if this is not your kind of thing but if you are able to provide any sponsorship then it would be very much appreciated.Donating to my JustGiving page is easy - just follow this link and click Donate:http://www.justgiving.com/owner-email/pleasesponsor/Mark-Adams24JustGiving sends your donation straight to Children with Cancer UK so it’s a quick and safe way to donate.Thank you for reading this and if you are happy to provide some sponsorship then fantastic, a great cause and very much appreciated.Best regards,Mark
