My story

 
UPDATE: I still wasn't sure until this morning whether I was going to make it to the start line, having been on antibiotics for a chest infection last week and still suffering from a foot injury. I made it though- it took me a whole 6 hours and 15 minutes and 43 seconds but I got there! Thank you everyone so much for your incredible support and for your generous contributions. Your sponsorship will make a huge difference to people who really need it and it certainly kept me going today. I really, really appreciate it... Thank you thank you thank you x x x x x (I am not athletic! However, I am going to attempt to be athletic on 26th April 2009 and run the London marathon in order to raise money for an extremely worthy cause. Shelter is a brilliant charity that targets homelessness in the UK and, particularly homelessness amongst children. One in seven children in Britain are either homeless or living in either overcrowded or poor conditions, and nearly 1.7 million households are on waiting lists for a social rented home. Shelter campaigns for more government assisted affordable housing, provides education schemes for disadvantaged children, gives free advice for those under threat of illegal eviction or housing difficulties, and works with both local and national authorities to secure lasting change. I am training hard and am determined to make it to the finish line in a respectable time in April. I want to make a contribution to the wonderful work Shelter do and I would be incredibly grateful if you would sponsor my marathon. Many thanks, Anna)
