I decided to run the marathon after being inspired by my friends Mike & Emma who ran the marathon this year, watching them on the day really made me want to do it. I wanted to run it for Make-A-Wish Foundation because it is such a worthwhile charity, I've put a little bit about it below so you can see what good your money is doing...

Make-A-Wish Foundation is a charity with a single purpose - we grant magical wishes to children and young people aged 3-17 fighting life-threatening conditions. To see examples of some of the wishes granted, go to http://www.make-a-wish.org.uk/about-us/make-a-wish-in-the-uk/

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure, make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. 

So please dig deep and donate now.
