OK so you thought you'd never see the day - and neither did I - but with some bribery and some peer pressure here I am signed up to run over 13 miles. Oh dear Lord...

Seeing as this is VERY unlikely to ever happen again, it's been suggested that I would be daft not to see if I can gain some sponsorship.

I'm not expecting much but any would be fab.

It's going to the Tracy Sollis Leukaemia Trust - a little charity (based in the town where I grew up in memory of a friend of a friend) that I wholeheartedly believe will get the most from your money.

So if you can give anything, it would be much appreciated - and it may give me a reason (other than being shouted at by my friends) to stumble towards the finish line!

the official blurb ...

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Tracy Sollis Leukaemia Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
