In April 2010 I'll be running my first marathon and what better marathon to do than the Virgin London Marathon.  I've only been into running for a matter of months now, but the bug has caught me and I thought it was a great opportunity to continue to support a fantastic charity, DebRA, that is fairly close to home for me.

If you are not familiar with DebRA, the disease EB (Epidermolysis Bullosa) it is a genetic condition where the skin breaks at the slightest touch, causing painful, open blisters and wounds.  EB can mean a life of extreme pain, disability and, at its worst it is fatal in infancy. People with severe EB are likely to contract a fatal skin cancer. DebRA provides specialist EB nursing, funds extensive medical research and provides counselling, welfare, respite and advocacy.

My friends Peter and Michelle Fincham have two lovely kids, Grace and Freddie, that suffer from EB and they would be considerably worse off without the care and support of the people at DebRA.

So, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and thank you for any donation that you have made.
