I thought I would take this opportunity to share a couple of articles that have appeared online about me over the past couple of months. Since I did the open water swims last year I’ve had some good coverage which has been great as it helps to raise the profile of Aspire, who I swam for, and can help get a few extra pounds in towards my fundraising targets.

The first article is on the Great Swim website and is actually linked to from their home page which is a bit weird to be honest. You can read it here http://www.greatswim.org/SwimStories/Story.aspx?sid=10. The article itself is on the website to try and encourage others to take the plunge and do the swim this year. I actually feel a tiny bit fraudulent as I’m not doing the swims this year as they are just a bit too near to the marathon and my forthcoming wedding to dedicate enough time to get in some decent training.

The second article is on the Wheel Power website and is a case study on me to highlight the type of people the charity can support. Unfortunately they have decided to change my surname to Lightbrown but the rest of the article is great. Again you can read it here http://www.wheelpower.org.uk/WPower/index.cfm/blogs/stephen-lightbrown/.The funny thing is the article itself was written when I first got my chair and its amusing to read a quote from myself saying how hard it was to do two miles. With the marathon now less than four weeks away I’m pleased to say that it has got slightly easier to chug my way round two miles.

Oh and don’t forget there is another website I currently can be found on and that is my JustGiving page. Please do sponsor me if you can by going to www.justgiving.com/rockupandroll1.
