<p>At the start of this year a friend reminded me that I'd written a list of things I wanted to achieve and on that list was a marathon.&nbsp; I looked up my diary pretty confident that I'd be busy on May 27th but it was not so and with no other viable excuse I signed up.</p> <p>I'm definitely not a 'runner' but I have completed a few 10ks and a couple of half marathons before. The marathon, though, will be a big step up.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm running for two reasons:</p> <p>1. To see if I can.</p> <p>2. To raise money for Leuchie House.</p> <p>My sister and I have both worked at Leuchie and my mum has worked there for a number of years and I know that many people have benefited from the excellent work that they carry out both for the guests that come from far and wide to benefit from their care and in the local community.</p> <p>http://www.leuchiehouse.org.uk/</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
