Hey folks,
As you all probably know by now i am attempting to run this years London marathon on the 26th April 2009.
Are you Mad? I hear you say. Well as I'm over 16 stone, never run this distance before and the furthest I've run so far is 13 miles (and even then I struggled).... I suppose the answer to your question is YES!!
But I'm hoping my madness will help to raise money for the British Heart Foundation. This is a worthy charity which does a lot of important work and is also close to home as my nan passed away 4 years ago after suffering with heart problems.
I have set myself a target of raising £1,000. Any contributions will be greatly appreciated and will help me to dig deep and find the energy to make it to the finishing line knowing that its all for a good cause.
If you fancy coming to support, it'll be good to see familiar faces in the crowd!!
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: British Heart Foundation 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!
