So, it seemed like a good idea at the time to look for a challenge in my 50th year, a flippant comment that I did a half marathon when I was 15 has landed me with a place in the Virgin Money London Marathon on Sunday 22 April.
Given that in the interim (nearly) 35 years I have barely done any running, the discovery of beer after my last effort in 1983 is purely coincidental, this will be a huge challenge. The main drawback with all of this is that I actually hate running, so as challenges go
..
However, supporting Virgin Moneys nominated charity of the Teenage Cancer Trust will give me plenty of motivation to (hopefully) drag my ageing body around the 26 mile course and raise plenty of cash for this amazing cause.
As you can see in my picture this month, HUGE sacrifices are being made haha.
Any sponsorship will really help to motivate me through my gruelling training and on the day, I will be unashamedly sharing and re-posting this request on social media as my target to raise £10,000 is as challenging as the actual running-uk.virginmoneygiving.com/PAULHARDINGHAM2
Also, from now until 23 April 2018 we will be donating £50 to the sponsorship fund for every mortgage application which successfully completes you can access this offer via the enquiry form at-www.innovateml.co.uk/make-an-enquiry/
Please feel free to share this with anyone who either knows me and may want to sponsor or who you think could benefit from mortgage/re-mortgage advice remember the sooner we hit the target the sooner I will stop bugging everyone!
Many many thanks in advance if you are able to assist me in this effort-Paul
