So this is it....

Here it comes...

THE BIG ONE!

To say I'm intimidated is an understatement, but in 2010 as I turn 35 I'm running the London Marathon.

It means a winter of British Military Fitness in the cold and rain, losing a stone and a half in weight and raising a bucket load of cash for the Family Holiday Association.

I need support to muster the enthusiasm so if you see me, give me a hug!

I'll be doing fundraising fun events and little bits to raise the cash - thanks to all who have bought my chrimbo cards already!
