<p>Well then...It appears this really is happening. The Kim show is hitting the streets of London (hopefully not literally) as I run 26.2 miles in the <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>2012 London Marathon </strong></span>for the PKD Charity.</p> <p>Now, here comes the X Factor sob story.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)</strong></span></span></p> <p>This disease is not particularly well known, unless you are lucky enough to have been my friend for a long time in which case you've probably been dragged along to a number of different fundraising events. PKD is, however "the world's most common inherited life-threatening condition", and is a disease that both myself and my sister Rebecca inherited from our mum. I know it's a little boring but please do look at the website below and read some more about it, because this is ultimately what I want you to give your well earned cash to (it's not a link to an ebay shop for One Direction tickets I promise)</p> <p><a href="http://www.pkdcharity.co.uk/polycystic-kidney-disease.html">http://www.pkdcharity.co.uk/polycystic-kidney-disease.html</a><br><br>In 2002 our mum, Mrs. Geraldine Murphy (Gez), passed away leaving behind a lot of people that loved her, including my dad, my 2 sisters and my brother. Now anyone that had the pleasure of meeting Gez knows that <strong>a.</strong> She was the most beautifully ladylike and glamorous woman you could ever meet, and <strong>b.</strong> She was not a lady that would run a marathon. Gez was all about a two hour stint of reflexology rather than putting her feet anywhere near a pair of trainers. Personally I'm not really all about the glamour unfortunately, but I am aware that I am one of the most unlikely people to ever do something like this *see title picture for evidence*. Over the years Rebecca has used her ridiculously savvy brain to raise a massive amount of money for PKD. This savvy brain was sadly not inherited by myself, and so I have a lot of making up to do, and so this is how I'm going to do it...by running further than I have ever run in my entire life.<br><br>This really is a massive test for me, and poor Kayleigh who I live with and has to put up with me banging on about it the whole time, but I SO want to do it and I <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>PROMISE</strong></span> I'll put my heart and soul into it and do you all proud. I don't expect hundreds, and I'm certainly not aiming for any kind of target, but if you can just give something I (and everyone at the PKD Charity) will hugely appreciate it. <br><br>Thankyou for taking the time to have a look at my page. You're all great...</p>
