<p>This is one of the biggest challenges I have ever set myself; it's particularly strenuous as I am flat footed so every mile of pounding the London streets sends shooting pains up my shins...BUT, it's gonna be worth it. Every step of the way, I will be focusing on the great work of The Fircroft Trust, mindful that other people have greater needs than me. Join me in spirit, or on the streets of London if you can. I thank you for your support &amp; for every penny you donate to support the charity.&nbsp;</p> <p>Virgin London Marathon 2012, here comes Alex!&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.virginlondonmarathon.com/">http://www.virginlondonmarathon.com/</a></p>
