Story

After watching from the barriers last year and seeing at first hand the determination and drive in the runners faces to do something that really makes a difference to those that need it most. I decided I would take up the challenge in 2010. After starting my training a good few months back I appreciate more than ever how great a challenge it really is even though I regard myself as a fit and health person. Also the hard times training through the snow and the freezing cold to probably moaning about how hot it is in a few months time.


On the 25th of April I will be joining the many thousands taking part in the 2010 London Marathon. I will be seeing if my body can take the 26+ miles in aid of a vital charity 'Well Child'. I am very proud to be running for such a great cause and I am really looking forward to making hopefully a big difference and allow these kids the best and happy up bringing they deserve!


Well Child is the national charity for sick children. They help sick children and their families throughout the UK as they deal with the consequences of serious illness and complex conditions. There mission is to reach as many children and young people as they can, year after year.

They focus on three key areas - care, support and research - and there involvement in so many aspects of children's health puts them in a unique position.

The team of WellChild Children's Nurses work with families across the UK. These specialist nurses help to ensure that children with complex care needs can leave hospital and return home, and they are vital in the prevention of re-admissions.



I am asking for your much needed support for what I am sure you will agree is a great cause.

Any amount is gratefully received by both Well Child and myself and we will be forever grateful for your support!
