Story

<p>I know - Vicky and 'The Marathon' are not two things that naturally go together UNTIL NOW!!!!</p> <p>I am making a once in a lifetime attempt at the London Marathon next year. I am running for the Migraine Trust. Anyone who knows me is aware that I am a frequent visitor to&nbsp;dark rooms and my bed having had a migraine. The impact on my life has been huge - they started when I was 13 and here I am at 31 on daily medication in an attempt to prevent these dibilitating attacks.</p> <p>I am aiming to raise &pound;1500 for the Migraine Trust in the hope that one day no-one else will have to suffer the pain that I have.</p> <p>Please donate all you can - I appreciate that everyone is a bit strapped but it will really spur me on knowing that I am doing something to help - or that people will gladly pay money to see someone torture themselves for 26 miles!</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
