Update 20th April - Well I made it to the finish at Brighton on Sunday!!! 5 hours 43 minutes. Lost a toe nail and gained a mahoosive blister at mile 19. Ran the last six miles in my socks!! It was an AMAZING day. Thank you all for your support :) :)
Update!! I have been featured in the (27th February) weekly 'Edinburgh Marathon newsletter' which is distributed to 40,000 people :) http://www.edinburgh-marathon.com/e-newsletter/2010_11.php
As many of you know, I am a Midwife working in a busy Maternity Unit at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath.
I have never raised money for charity through my running before, but I have decided that I would like to raise some much needed funds for the Hospital to be used to purchase some new equipment - what we are able to buy will depend on how much is raised.
So this Spring, I will be running a marathon double: the Brighton Marathon on 18th April and the Edinburgh Marathon on 23rd May.
To make things more challenging, I will be running Brighton dressed as a Greek Goddess - as per the photo on the left !!!
I would be really grateful if you would consider sponsoring me and donating through this page. The funds raise will be so gratefully received. Thank you! PS 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.

If you are on Facebook, I have created a group where you can follow my progress in the lead up to the races... search for "Dionne's Double" and join the group! :) :)
