Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
As most of you know (sorry to the ones that have had to listen to me bang on about it for months), I have been desperate to run the London Marathon. I have now been lucky enough to be selected for a place by the North Devon Hospice. This is great charity to run for and I hope to raise lots of money!
HOORAY I HAVE COMPLETED MY FIRST MARATHON - 4.33 - thoroughly enjoyed the experience - thank so so much to everyone for there fantastic support!!

A BIG THANK YOU AGAIN TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED ME!

Getting ready for a few hard weeks of training, consisting of 18, 20 and 22 miles! Need to stay well and injury free!
Completed the Bideford half marathon in PB - 1.49.37 - not sure how many legs will make another 13.1 but am sure they will!
Made a fool of myself on Westcountry TV tonight - so think that deserves a donation in itself!

Torrington Christmas Caper 2009 completed - was freezing temperatures, ran through knee deep water, but with gritted teeth made it over the finish line.
Other good news - my running buddy Mandi Yeo has gained a Club Place for the marathon to - so will have someone to run the streets with over the next few months.
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.
