Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

After running the Reading Half Marathon last year for CLIC I thought it would be a good idea to enter the London Marathon in 2015! I think I had a funny 5 minutes - in the light of day I am now thinking what have I done?!  The training in this bitter cold weather is HARD work. Also finding the time to put in the training miles and the energy needed for those miles is even more difficult! But...I am enjoying it really and makes it all worthwhile then I remember why I started running these longer distances...to help raise money for CLIC Sargent.

I really appreciate the donations people made for my half marathon and I was overwhelmed by everyone's generosity. Thinking about how much I had managed to raise really helped my motivation for getting out in the horrendous weather & every step of the 13.109375 miles!! I need that motivation again for the mammoth 26.21875 miles! :-)

I would really grateful if you could spare a few more pennies for this brilliant charity (and my biggest challenge yet!)

A massive thank you once again :-) Wish me luck! I'll need it!!!
