In late December I decided to run the Flora London Marathon on April 13 2008.  This had not always been a dream of mine.  I had been eating, boozing and slobbing around for several months. It was never going to be pretty...

At least other people can benefit from my stupidity. It seems cancer affects everybody, whether directly or through those they love, so please dig deep and help me to raise my target of £1300 for Leukaemia CARE.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Leukaemia CARE Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support - and you can follow my training progress on my blog at www.4sportsake.com/footballerswife
