Hi everyone. My name is Paul and on April 22nd I will be running my first marathon, the Virgin London Marathon. Being now the wrong side of 50, this is quite a challenge, but I have a training plan and it's all going pretty well so far. I am aiming for a time around, or hopefully under 3:30:00

I have been lucky enough to get in via the Ballot system, so can choose a charitable cause that I want to run for.  I have decided that I would like to raise money for SoLYD - Supporters of Luton Youth Development.

As SoLYD is not a registered charity as such, we cannot set up one of those 'Just Giving' type pages.

So, if you are interested in sponsoring me, and donating money to (what I believe to be) a VERY worthwhile cause, please follow the SPONSOR ME link http://solydmarathon.weebly.com/sponsor-me.html . Options for payment are shown there - currently it's by cheque, bank payment or Paypal (for the young people!).


Anyway, thanks very much for your time (and sponsorship??!!)
