Mission Statement

Welcome my little blog, my name is Martin Hookway and this blog is a way for me to log my personal thoughts & views as I am attempting to complete personal & physical challenges each year with other like minded people.

The next Challenge's:

LONDON MARATHON (21st April 2013)
EDINBURGH MARATHON (26th May 2013)
YORKSHIRE MARATHON (20th Oct 2013)

THE ADIDAS THUNDER RUN 24 hour Race
#PROJECT100in24 (27th to 28th July)

I will be running as usual with GPS with Runkeeper & tweeting as I run on @TEAMB_O_B as long as I have phone coverage so all your support will be gratefully received.

I am currently funraising for Rainbow Trust so please dig deep if you can to help this amazing charity.

Rainbow Trust is a Children’s Charity that provides emotional and practical support to
families when their child has a life threatening or terminal illness; immediate
help is available for families 24 hours a day. Support is offered from diagnosis
through treatment and, should a family become bereaved, we continue to support
them for as long as they need us. They help family members cope with the present
and prepare them for the future.
So please dig deep & help this great charity, just think £10 is a meal at KFC so by donating £10 you will not only be helping yourself but you'll also be helping others ;o)

Cheers for taking the time to read my blog, its greatly apreciated, fingers crossed it will bring a smile to your face. My challenges never quite go to plan... ENJOY.

THE CHALLENGE THAT STARTED IT ALL OFF

Challenge: 15,000ft Skydive
Team BOB: Martin Hookway & Clare Lee

Working for NCH (Now Action for Children) in 2009 Clare & I (a fellow colleague) decided to help raise money for the charity by doing a Tandem Skydive. Being scared of heights, jumping from a perfectly good plane at 15,000ft was not my idea of fun. After 2 full days of waiting & it being called off due to cloud cover finally we got the call to jump...

More nervous than ever we boarded the bus to take us down the runway to the plane...


Once jumping all my fears were forgotten, this was one of the BEST feeling EVER!!!

A great day, a great moment in my life, a tick off of my "Bucket List".
