My story

Last year I ran/walked the marathon and I can honestly say although so hard it was one of the best days of my life. So in that mad moment afterwards I decided to sign up again. I think like childbirth I must have forgotten all that pain. Those 16 weeks hard training in the snow, sleet and rain. Those blisters, those early mornings. It is especially hard sometimes as I have lupus and sometimes my joints ache so much.  But I did not forget the children I will be helping.

Last year I ran in memory of the beautiful gorgeous Justin who passed away at The Children's Trust aged 5. It was a privilege to run with his parents .  At the time I thought surely if they can get up every morning and put on a brave face then surely I can run 26.2 miles. 

This year I am running the London Marathon in celebration of the thousands of children with profound disabilities I have made a difference to in the the last 10 years of being the fundraising manager at the Trust. I have seen so many incredibly brave children and I am sure some of you know I am so passionate about the charity. www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk  . As part of my 2010 challenges I will also be running the BUPA 10k, British 10k and Royal Half Marathons in aid of the Trust 


Thanks for looking at my JustGiving page. I am hoping that 50 people donate £5. These may be strangers on twitter, acquittances on Real Buzz or Facebook. Of course I hope my friends and family can support me again.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please make a difference to children like Ollie who choked on a grape aged 3 http://tiny.cc/Mxym6
