This year I decided to take on a marathon. Why not mark your 40th with a major achievement?  Before I knew it I'd entered two half marathons, a 24 hour race, two 10k's, an obstacle race and TWO marathons!! Please take the computer away from me!! 

If I'm going to put myself through this and can raise a few quid for the local hospice along the way, then why not?

Unfortunately we're probably all going to be touched by the work these wonderful people do.
