The countdown has commenced and on April 25th 2010, I Zoe Bloor will be running the 26.2 miles that makest the Virgin London Marathon.

It is so so cold out at the moment - my legs were numb by the end of my run yesterday!

My marathon place was confirmed through the childrens charity Rainbow Trust. For those of you that know me you will know that I have very short legs which is going to make this even more of a challenge then it already is....but that isn't going to stop me.

The Rainbow Trust relies pretty much entirely on voluntary donations from lovely people like you and crazy individuals like me. If you'd like to read more about Rainbow Trust please visit www.rainbowtrust.org.uk

So I've got my charity place, I've bought my new running shoes, I've been running further distances every week....all I need now is some £ donations £ and by January 2010 I need to have raised my initial £500. No matter how large or small every penny counts!

Please help support this vital charity and help make a difference to the lives of others.
