My story

Hi! Thanks so much for visiting my fundraising page.

Well, it's true, I've made the crazy decision to run the London Marathon in 2009.

Those who know me realise what a huge challenge this is for me, especially since I've never really run much! So thank you to those of you who have already supported me so much, and not laughed in my face! :)

So, while I am getting into my training (after the essential trip to Sweaty Betty of course!) I am also hoping to raise some money for charity.

I've chosen a charity that is very close to my heart and is personal to me.

The British Association For Adoption And Fostering helps to find families for hundreds of children from care every year. They provide advice and support to adoptive and foster families and campaign for children's rights. Supporting BAAF helps children who have had the most difficult starts in life to face a brighter future.

The way I see it, if BAAF can help one child find a family half as great as mine, then every penny is well worth it.

Thanks again for all your support, I really appreciate it.
