David May to run 85 miles alng the Ridgeway

New Rainbow supporter David May is in training for a major race in August 2009.

In his own words:
"Basically I am going to train up to do a trail race in August 2009, the aim is to complete it in under 27 hours, which is the time of the last finisher in 2007. It's a run of 85 miles along a 5000 year old trackway from Ivinghoe beacon through the Chiltern Hills and North Wessex Downs; Grim's Ditch and Barbury Castle and Liddington Castle (hill forts) en route; waymarked throughout with 9,000 feet of ascent.

I just thought that if I was going to go through a whole lot of pain over the next year to prepare, including a number of events as warm ups, then I should be able to persuade people to part with some money. I don't want to wait until the event, so I thought that I may be able to ask people to sponsor me for every mile run in the next year. I have a watch that tracks it all and I can publish the results on line, so there is no opportunity to slack off".

David has a blog at http://dutchdave.blogspot.com/ and also plans to set up a "Justgiving page" for sponsorship.

Over the next two years Andy will also be working with local businesses, work colleagues, friends and family to raise money for the Rainbow Centre through a series of local fund raising events.

"I have chosen to raise money for the Rainbow Centre as I wanted to support a local charity that still had the ability to come across as a tight family unit yet performed in a way that clearly improved the quality of people's lives," added Andy. "From a personal point of view the Clipper race is the ultimate leadership and team building course but the association with the Rainbow Centre also provides an opportunity to raise much needed funds for a charity that produces small miracles almost every day."

Julie Woodward, at the Rainbow Centre, said: "We really appreciate all of Andy's efforts. What he is doing will be an extraordinary achievement for him and will help many children at the Centre continue to fulfill their maximum potential through Conductive Education. We will all be supporting Andy every step of the way."

You can sponsor Andy by visiting http://www.justgiving.com/andymilner where any money donated will go to the Rainbow Centre.

Andy has set up a website to track his progress. Andy's website ...
