Hi
While away on my trip to the Everest Base Camp, l had a little time to record the events of my trip in a diary which i am please to say you will all be able to view.
I have tried to add as much of my trip and how the whole adventure affected me and my fellow trip companions. Also how l felt being away from my family.
I hope you enjoy this.
Thank You all for you support
Kevin
The Big Day Has Arrived
Here\’s a quick message for everybody that has supported me and helped my through my events raising money for Charity that are all close to my heart.
Well I have done it
The most iconic event of all the London Marathon 2019, the event that was one of my many on my bucket list has been conquered in a time of 5:14:21
Every little bit will help towards ground breaking research.
Just one day to go before I take on the London Marathon 2019, I’m a little nervous but excited at the same time.
Its going to be an early start tommorow 28th April 2019 to get up to London for the start as there are no trains at 5am in the morning and none going to Victoria Station until 8am.
So I’m getting a lift by a work colleague Ian Message to a station close to London then making my way to the start at Blackheath London where we are hoping to have a Dementia Revolution Group photo before the London Marathon starts at 10 am.
I would also like to give a huge thank everybody that has supported and sponsored me through all of my charity events.
You can still donate to my chosen charity Dementia Revolution which will generate great needed research and hopefuly a cure in the near future.
Every little bit will help towards ground breaking research.
Just getting ready to take on last 20 mile.
left knee giving me a bit of trouble but hey NO PAIN NO GAIN .
Well everyone I can officially say that I am now on taper.
Taper is when you start to wind down the mileage towards the MAIN EVENT as it is now only 3 weeks away and it couldn’t come quick enough.
If I am honest it really is just about getting to the finish line this time.
It has been 7 years since I ran a full marathon and anyone that says that it is easy is dreaming.
I have an amazing support team but they know how I have found it this time the has been alot of pain and tears on the way.
I can honestly say that I dread swinging my legs out of bed every morning at the moment not knowing how they will feel but in strange way I thrive on it as I know what it feels like to go over the finish line after 26.2 miles.
I don’t think there is any feel like it. It is pure adrenalin. I recommend you try it even a 5k parkrun is a great feeling
Every little bit will help towards ground breaking research.
Its all getting real
Hi all, we are only 3 weeks now away from the most iconic marathon in the world.
It is getting a bit real now if I am honest.
I am both physically and mentally tired it really is just a case of getting to the finish line but we will do it.
We now have my bib number and I am starting from the blue start line.
There will an app available on the day (details to follow).
Both mum and dad will be sitting watching out for me on the television.
As dad now has dementia him and mum would not be able to cope with the huge crowds in London. Please visit my Virgin Moneygiving Page and donate to help people like my dad and carers like my mum x
Every little bit will help towards ground breaking research.
Seaford park run 6th April 2019
Hi All
l did my first Park Run today 6th April 2019 at Seaford and did a great time.
My Bath Half Marathon
A MASSIVE thank you to everyone who supported me I know you have had to wait a while as you all helped raise over
£2600 for crohns and colitis UK last year but the weather put pay to that by the way of a huge amount of snow.
But I am here now on a beautiful morning in Bath to fulfil my promise to Carol.
Also thanks to my amazing family for their support and encouragement as I couldn’t do I without them also thank you to my physio Gretchen Heard for helping to keep me in one piece. X x
