Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've been a keen runner for the last 12 years, taking part in a few 10ks and three half marathons. I've entered the London marathon ballot several times but never got a place. It's always been something I've wanted to tick off the list so when the opportunity came up to take a charity place through work, I decided it was meant to be!

If 80 year olds can do it I can!!

Currently I'm doing spinning once a week plus two runs during the week and a longer one at the weekend, increasing the distance by 10% each week. It's a difficult time of year - dark and cold - but hopefully it will be worth it! The marathon distance is 26.2 miles (crikes!) Still can't believe I'm going to do it...

I would be grateful for any donations...

I'd also welcome any song suggestions for my ipod - my training runs would be very long and boring without it. Doesn't matter how embarrassing they are!

A huge thank you.
