My story

After completing my first marathon last year, I've decided 2012 will be the year of two marathons. On Sunday 22nd April I will join the thousands of other runners pounding the streets of London for the 2012 London Marathon. A few months later, on 30th September, I'll then do it all again in Berlin.

As with last year, I have been touched by the number of people who have asked if they can make a charitable donation on my behalf. So, once again I have decided to donate any funds to Headway Essex, a charity which provides care and support for survivors of brain injury and their families and carers (www.headwayessex.org.uk).

Brain injury can happen to ANYONE at ANYTIME and ANYWHERE. The accident causing the injury may happen in a split second, but the effects can last a lifetime.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Headway Essex gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure Gift Aid is added to your donation.

Thank you so much for your support - it's going to an excellent charity and I hope I do you proud!

Ellie xx
