Story

<p>Hi friends and family,</p> <p>As&nbsp;many of you are aware&nbsp;I decided to run the London marathon this year in a moment of madness after&nbsp;watching last year's race; I wanted to run to raise money for chariy and also as it's a huge personal challenge for me.</p> <p>My grandparents reaction when I told them was "Well that's a bit&nbsp;far for you Emma" and I am by far the worst runner&nbsp;in&nbsp;my family.&nbsp;My first training run in October was a slow four mile "waddle" and I have now&nbsp;run a hillly 20-miles this last Sunday as part of the training.</p> <p>The charity I am running for is for terminally ill children in the UK; the charity does some amazing work to help children who are ill fulfill a last wish that they want.</p> <p>It would be great if you could spare some money to sponsor this great charity and knowing it's for charity will spur me on through every mile on the day!</p> <p>Thanks so much, Ems x</p> <p>______________________________________________________</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
