<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Well here I am less than 2 weeks away from running my first marathon and I must admit the nerves are starting to set in.</p> <p>Back in December I never thought I would actually get to this stage but thanks to Paul dragging me out the house (literally) every Sunday and making me run in rain, snow, ice and believe it or not hot sunshine I at least stand a chance of crossing the finish line. We have run 20 miles several times but&nbsp; the final 6 miles is going to be a real killer so I would really appreciate your support to give me the extra motivation that I know I will need.&nbsp;Our goal is to&nbsp;finish in under 4 and a half hours - anything less than 4 20 will be nothing short of a miracle! Not too bad for a first timer and don't forget I am running on my birthday&nbsp;so I really will be feeling my age!&nbsp;</p> <p>After much thought I have decided to sponsor a local charity -the South East Cancer Help Centre - a small charity that provides a lot of support to people affected by cancer. I know they would&nbsp;be very grateful for any&nbsp;donations so&nbsp;please support them and&nbsp;give me a really good reason for finishing the race!.</p> <p>Thank you!!!!!!!!!</p>
