My Story

I am running my last, and final, marathon in support of Stockdales. My poor old knees thought they’d retired, but the chance to run the London Marathon for the first time and raise some much needed funds was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.

Stockdales is a wonderful local charity based in Sale. It is where my wife’s brother, Hew, lived until December 2003 when he suddenly and very sadly died at the age of 24. Stockdales provided a loving and wonderful home for Hew that enabled him to thrive and be happy. 

Stockdales continue to look after children and adults with the most profound disabilities, enabling them to fulfil their potential and give them and their families the future they deserve. The level of care and equipment needed is extremely costly so please help me to raise as much as possible so that more young people across the region can access their wonderful services.
