I was in Weston Super Mare on December 5th 2002. Thousands of people took part in a race to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy.

I was there to support the run, so I was asked to be a marshal. Next year I will run the race. My name is Garry. My ambition is to run the race in Weston Super Mare in December and I would love to run the London Marathon for my son and the Muscular Dystrophy charity. I am going to run a few miles every week to get myself fit.

My son Matthew has Muscular Dystrophy. This means that he is not as big as other boys of his age, and he can't walk as far. I like to raise lots of money every year. I am a member of a Somerset Carnival Club. They opened a trust for Matthew so if he needs some aids to walk in the coming years the club will buy them for Matthew. The best thing about being in a Carnival Club is everyone pulls together to put a magnificent show on for the public. The crowds come from all over and enjoy a free show with a great atmosphere.

As well as the great free show, the Carnival raises loads of money for many charities.

Matthew has a sister called Jemma. She and Matthew are very close. I am divorced and live in a flat. My kids stay with me every other weekend. We like to go out to parks, pictures, and swimming, and we read books. I take my kids on holidays. This year we will be going camping, maybe to Cornwall.

My ambition is do well at Filton College.
