My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

I've managed to secure a place in the 2012 London Marathon on 22nd April, and am running for Wellbeing of Women. This is a great charity which raises money for research in reproductive and gynaecological health.

Not only do I now have to somehow run 26.2 grueling miles... but I also need to raise £1500 in the process! Running a marathon has always been on my "list of things to do", and I recently realised that I should stop procrastinating and start running! This charity is also closely linked to the job I enjoy so much.... so please dig deep and help me cross the finish line (hopefully in one piece!)

Thank you so much!

Helen x

PS: I've realised I don't have any photos of me running (yet!) Sorry!
