Thank you to everyone who sponsored me. I did it in 1:35:58, which is quicker than I expected. I raised slighted more than I expected, and as a team we raised £2000, which is great.

 

Liz and I moved to Birmingham a few months ago and we joined our local church called Riverside. They had a team of people running the Brummie half-marathon in support of Kingsbridge Community Sports / Jericho Foundation – how could I not join them! 

Kingsbridge Community Sports is a partnership of local organisations who want to develop the Holders Lane Playing Fields at the back of Canon Hill Park. An exciting new venue will be created, providing a large range of sports and leisure activities for the local community. At the moment the fields and pavilion are owned by Birmingham City Council and are in poor condition. Kingsbridge are in the final stages of talks with the council about taking control of the site and developing it for and with the local community. As a key partner of Kingsbridge, The Jericho Foundation is handling the fundraising arrangements for this event.
