Yes I am stupid, yes I am going to run another Marathon. The pain will be excrutiating, I will walk funny for days after but it will be worth it.

There is no better way to run a marathon than doing it for a charity, I will not ask for any pledges instead I ask you to donate upfront to the charity so even if the worst happens to me the charity will then still get the money.

This time I do not have a proper target to reach although I have set out £200 just to see what happens. So give whatever you feel like you can, minimum donation is £2, take out your card and press my sponsor me now button. This is your chance to count your blessings and give something back to those who need it more.

You can follow my progress in detail on my blog http://runningforhealth.wordpress.com/ where I will write about the agonies of training for a marathon, how the fundraising is going and what donating to LEPRA can do and how much it helps the most vulnerable in the world.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: LEPRA gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please dig deep and donate now.
