Hi I'm Andy and I am running the Sheffield 1/2 Marathon to raise funds and make a DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLES LIVES at Weston Park. Not least, to show my support for my Wife who has already undergone 3 treatments at Weston Park for Lymphoma. By the way, I AM A BLOKE, just in case you are confused!!! by the wig I will be running this years run in fancy dress as ROBIN HOOD. With wig.(see my pics) My friends say I look better with a moustache and without the wig (But what do you think?) I think it is a small price to pay to help those where it is not an option. I have been asked , what I enjoy about running such a long distance/. The simplest answer I can give. The 1st 600 yards and the last 100 yards ha ha. The training is the hardest part followed by the FUNDRAISING.(Boy !! to get people to part with money is sometimes hard") By the time the day comes along, I am just glad to get it over with. "After all, the training and fundraising it should be a walk in the park". SO THEY SAY. Then depending on the weather(the last one it was very hot on the day), how you feel on the day. YEAH you just wake up in the morning and think what a great day to get up and run 13miles (after a few beers might seem good, but in reality NOT) Then reality hits and you think, what the heck am I getting up on a Sunday morning for, getting dressed up in Fancy dress, shaving off my moustache, driving to Sheffield(what will the neighbours think!!!!)and running 13miles. Am I crazy? (Dont answer that) Then someone (or Thing) taps me on the shoulder and says. To MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLES LIVES and show that you care about SOMEONE OTHER THAN MYSELF. Ps , my wife Janet is doing well at the moment and long may it continue. With your help in supporting me and Weston Park. Research, Treatment and Care will only get better. See the Weston Park web page for more info on how we help. I say we because, I HOPE YOU WILL JOIN US BY SUPPORTING ME AND WESTON PARK. If you live around Dronfield, you might see me running in black leggings, black skull cap and gloves with a Weston Park vest on (or purple track top if it is cold) Please feel free to give me a toot (and try not to run me over ha ha.) I
