Rupert Kitching

An Army Major in the Scots Guards and one half of a honeymooning couple at the North Pole. With his new wife Lucinda, Rupert is making his marathon debut at the 2009 North Pole Marathon. Lucinda had already signed up to the adventure before they got engaged and Rupert felt it would be rather ungentlemanly to let one's new wife disappear on some mad cap adventure on her lonesome. Rupert is a keen sportsman and has represented the Army and Combined Services at Alpine Skiing. Sport and fitness is a daily part of the job but he is new to the whole marathon experience. However, he feels that if one is going to do one it may as well be at the North Pole. He is running behalf of Help for Heroes. See www.justgiving/lucindawattsnp.
