<p>I ran the London Marathon for the charity Interact worldwide on the 17th of April 2011. Five Months of training and a few-trips-to-Bristol-and-back's worth of miles later, I made it over the finish line!&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>It was a really great day, the crowd were amazing, and despite the sun and quite an annoying case of "devil cramp" around 14 miles, running was great fun!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me so far, and to everyone who supported me (and the other 35k runners :D) along the course.... including the various London borough fire brigades and their much welcomed spray jets of cooling water! &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>A little more about the charity:</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #521b5f; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span></p> <p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><strong>IW specialises in working with partners through a rights-based approach that allows poor and marginalised people to demand as a 'right' the basic conditions that allow them to live in dignity.</strong></p> <p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><strong>Our work focuses specifically on the most marginalised communities and individuals: those who most commonly experience stigma, discrimination, abuse and denial of rights.</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>You can find out a bit more info about me and the charity over at <a href="http://www.toasteddigital.com/londonmarathon2011">my site's marathon page</a>!</p>
