Well a big helllloooo to you all and firstly a huge thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

I have been 'lucky' enough to receive a ballot place in the Virgin 2012 London Marathon!! J Whoop Whoop! Training is already underway and now every cocktail, cake, biscuit and general naughtiness is rationed!!

Needing every motivation to see me through this massive quest, I have chosen to run for KEEN (Kids Enjoy Exercise Now). This charity is run by volunteers (mainly Oxford and Brookes students) who provide recreational activities for special needs children and young adults in Oxfordshire.

I have worked as a coach alongside the KEEN athletes and the benefits are overwhelming! The children and young adults revel in some much needed independent time, spent with people their own age and get involved in a whole range of fun activities. As importantly, these weekly sessions give parents and families some much needed rest bite and time to do normal things such as household chores or have a relaxing bath!!

The sessions are free, but obviously the activities and transport costs money. Here’s how your contribution may help…

Thank you so much and hopefully see you at the finish line! Kate xXx
