Once upon a time I decided that it would be a good idea to do a marathon. I have always wanted to do the London Marathon and have decided that now is a good time to do it...I'm not getting any younger...

So, on April 22nd 2012 I am running the London Marathon as part of the Telegraph team, for the Anthony Nolan charity. Anthony Nolan is a pioneering charity that saves the lives of people with blood cancer who need a blood stem cell, or bone marrow transplant.

I would be so grateful for any donations made, it's all for a great cause and worth the pain that I am going to be putting myself through. I must be mad....

Thank you,

Philippa
