Thanks for visiting my page. I know that most of you are aware I am running the London Marathon this year in aid of the Adam Cole Foundation (mainly because I've bored you all with moaning about training and I've still got over two months to go!).
Despite the fact that I can think of nothing better than sweating it out with 33,000 other runners, going puce in the face, having to graple with the art of vaseline application and watching on as rhinos overtake me - I am doing this for more than just me - I'm doing it for a fab cause. It doesn't take a lot of imagination when watching the news to see that there are many children who need the opportunity to find hope in something else and the Adam Cole Foundation does that through sport. It helps disadvantaged children, who have not perhaps had the opportunities we have been lucky enough to experience, to get involved in something positive - sport. It helps them learn discipline, team work, confidence and most importantly pride in their achievements.
I am particularly proud to be running for the charity as they have been waiting for four years to earn a 'bond' place in the London marathon and this year they have been awarded one and they've given it to me - it's obviously very touching to be chosen but it does mean I need to do them proud, so please dig deep and give this lone runner a real spring in her step when she's at mile 22 (if not before then!).
Thanks and I and the trustees really appreciate your support
