I'm running the Beachy Head marathon for Age UK as a memorable way of spending my birthday this year!  

It's my first and one of the hilliest marathons in the country: 1,500 metres of ascent and descent, so it's going to be an interesting challenge.  The event has a brilliant sting in its tail - at around 18 miles, when many marathoners traditionally hit 'the wall' - is when runners have to go up and down the entire length of the Seven Sisters!

It would be great if I could raise some money in support of Age UK along the way. Please donate whatever you can - it all helps.

Thanks and wish me luck!

Alistair
