<p>As some of you will know, last year I ran the Reading Half Marathon (in just a smidgin under 1hr 40mins!) and raised about £500 for Winston's Wish - which is fantastic!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fantastic maybe - but not enough! So this year, I though 'whats harder than running half a marathon...? Why, running a whole one of course!' As such, I duely entered Brighton Marathon which will take place on 15th April 2012. At the time of writing (8th Dec) it is a little over 18 weeks away, so I suppose I ought to think about training at some point - as well as raising those precious pennies for Winstons Wish!</p>

<p>To quote their website, "<span style="font-family: Arial;">Winston's Wish is the leading childhood bereavement charity and the largest provider of services to bereaved children, young people and their families in the </span>UK<span style="font-family: Arial;">. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">We offer practical support and guidance to families, professionals and anyone concerned about a grieving child. We believe that the right support at </span><span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">the right time can enable young people to live with their grief and rebuild positive futures." </span></span><span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000;">As most of you will know, I lost my mother when I was 14, so I have first-hand experience of how difficult such situations are.</span></span></span></p>

<p>Please, please dig deep for this amazing charity - I know that every penny will really help a young person to re-build their life. I'm sure that it will also help me push through the pain-barrier at 22miles - so if not for the charity, do it for the sadist in you!</p>
