Martin was recently diagnosed with Wegener's Granulomoatosis ( GPA ) He is currently on chemotherapy treatment and if that isn't tough enough he still intends to do as much training as he can throughout the year in the hope of being able to undertake a couple of half marathons - all to help raise awareness of vasculitis and gather donations for his chosen charity.

Good luck, this is inspiring! I hope you exceed your target Martin!
Go on Martin lad!!! Exercise is the key to fight off the Wegner's. I was diagnosed in 2008 and since then have completed 3 marathons and 8 triathlons. Keep up the good work. The more you exercise the more drugs you can avoid.
Good luck - not that you'll need it!!!
Thanks guys, it would be great to mix it with the guys up the front, but will be happy in the pack raising money for such a good cause. Then its rest week as chemo on Tuesday. Loughborough Half Bring it On.
