I will be taking part in the Amsterdam marathon on october 17th and the Snodonia marathon in the same month. I have decided to get involved and to make fundraising for Macmillan a priority in life after my mothers death from this disease this month.

Im not sure yet as i am still fairly new to this site...

Anyway - last time I recorded a song that I want played at my funeral. It made for quite an emotional recording session but I'm glad I did it.
