8 months ago at the young age of 56 I ran my first ever half marathon with several work colleagues and helped to raise funds for Birmingham Children’s Hospital. It was a great day and kept me fit as well! I decided not to stop there and found a new challenge. Sadly, this was by way
A 93 mile walk across the Southern Highlands of Scotland taking in some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK. Starting from Drymen on the West Highland Way it goes north east to finish in Pitlochry. Day 1 – Drymen to Callander, 20 miles; started drizzly but as the day went on there was more

On Sunday 13th April, 4 men (Ian Carrie, Jim Smalley, Richard Haskey and Gary Hall) dressed head to toe in Lycra set off to cycle coast to coast from Morecambe to Bridlington – 170 miles over 3 days – to raise funds for CRY. It actually turned out to be nearer 200 miles after a few

On 5th February 2014 we sadly lost Owen, suddenly and unexpectedly, on the day he celebrated his 46th birthday. Owen was a funny, laid back and loving guy. He took everything in his stride and would say “what will be will be” and always had a smile on his face. Losing Owen is devastating and life

On Saturday 26th April 2014 I completed ‘Race 2’ of my 3-race challenge in honour of my 3 late friends and to support CRY.
