Garry Preston running for CLCRF
Donation protected
Thank you for visiting my page.
I have set myself the challenge of taking part in this year's New York Marathon on the 5th of November.
In doing so I hope to gain support and sponsorship to raise funds for and knowledge of the Childrens Leukaemia and Cancer Research Foundation.
I've been training since March having been'fortunate' (?) to have been succesful in the ballot to take part in this year's run (only one in three applicants are) ...13 years on from taking part in the London Marathon and saying "Never again!".
I realise and you may also be thinking that it would have been a lot easier to have entered the City to Surf Marathon here in Perth however, it would have then been even easier for me to change my mind.. having booked and paid for my flights and accomodation in New York there is simply no going back!
I have quickly realised my legs aren't as young as they used to be and that the only way I'll get through it this time is through a great deal of hard work, dedication and mental toughness.
Your financial backing in the form of sponsorship will ensure I have a strong breeze pushing me along the way... or a chain around my ankle dragging me on!
I couldn't possibly do justice in trying to explain the great work this amazing charity is doing in helping children and families; instead see for yourself by visiting their website -

Thank you once again.
Garry.
*please note, to be absolutely clear, just in case there is any doubt: every penny/cent will be going to CLCRF. I will be covering all my own costs myself.
