Four years ago I set myself a goal to run a full Marathon before I was 50. At the time I could barely run to the end of the street. Since then Ive done a 5k, several 10k, 8 miles in the Marathon Relay and 2 Half Marathons. Now its time for the daddy of them all. The full 26.2 miles of the Edinburgh Marathon on 26th May.

Im running in aid of MacMillan who provide unbelieveable support to families during very difficuilt times. Please help me reach my target with whatever support you can spare, every penny counts.
