Great stuff. WebCertain Europe Ltd supports Shelter with £400 ! Much appreciated!

The multilingual SEO specialists based in York has contributed a major amount of money to Shelter and the work they do for the people in housing need around the UK.

WebCertain is passionate about generating business growth for its clients in any part of the world. A team of native speakers of all the world’s major languages works together to achieve client objectives – no one understands working with different cultures and the nuances of language in the globe’s search engines better than the WebCertain multilingual team.

A friend of mine Andreas has contributed £100 based on the fact that I ran the marathon in less than 4 hours….. And of course because he sees the value of contributing to Shelters work!

A big thank you!!

Done!

I have been following this training plan and just realised that the tough lap that I ran last Saturday was scheduled for tomorrow… hmm.. hope that wont change anything.

Just received a donation from a dear friend back in Leeds. Akafuna – thanks a lot.

Man I m like a vegetable.. realise the last 10 k of the marathon is going to be very painful!!!!

Anyone with some good advice on how to OPTIMISE my preparation the last three weeks… ??

One thing.. why I m doing this? In support of Shelter.

The lack of affordable housing is at the root of Britain’s housing crisis. The British government has made a pledge to build three million new homes – but the number of homes for social renting must rise sharply if the crisis is to be resolved.

Millions of people in the UK are forced to live in substandard and overcrowded accommodation or are without a permanent home.

Been pretty bad at updating this blog. However I m on track and I completed the 18 mile run this weekend…

Our friend Davide from the land of pasta and tutti frutti has supported Shelter! He is the man.

Thanks to my Spanish friend Jesús

Jesús, a friend from University, has sponsored Shelter. Thanks a lot mate!

This week I have felt like its been harder than normal to complete my laps for some reason… maybe it was that ski trip on Sunday after the 26 km on Saturday that sort of messed it up. Perhaps I didnt allow my body the rest it needed.

However I ll go for my run this morning before heading off to work.

My first sponsor!

A person under the name of Svintoksen has made a generous donation to Shelters work with homeless people. Praise to him !

Did you know that Shelter is a leading expert on housing in Britain. Their policy team is constantly developing practical methods to tackle the housing crisis.
