My story
23 April
I've done it! It was an amazing experience and I feel blessed to have taken part in the 2012 London Marathon. Thank you SO much for all of your help, support and of course donations to this very special charity. And for helping me to do something that I never, ever thought I'd be able to do.

Hurrah, the 20-mile longest of long training runs is done and dusted!
Very excited (and exhausted) as today was long run day. It was meant to be a cloudy and not too hot day, instead it was incredibly warm and sunny as Charlotte and I pounded 20 miles along the coast from Old Leigh through Southend up to Shoebury Ness. Now all there is to do is rest up, taper down and prepare my mind for the main event. Thanks to everyone who has sponsored me it means the world to me and to Able Child Africa.
Friends are getting freaked out at the long run distances that I'm covering, and so am I to be honest!
I'm now at 16 miles, going for 17 this week, the distances made better by the fact I listen to The Archers Omnibus and Radio 4 plays as I jog along the Thames
Your support has been amazing, thank you for all sponsors so far, it's helping the miles melt away!

Am at the halfway mark - ran 13 miles this week despite the ice and snow. Another long run planned for tomorrow...
Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am excited but terrified about running my first full marathon, but knowing that you are supporting me through sponsorship, and knowing that I am raising money that will make a huge difference to children in East Africa who start life with very little, is just the spur that I need to keep on running.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Thank you so much for your support, and please keep telling me that I have just got to run 1 mile, 26 times! Kath
