Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

As you may or may not know I am running the Berlin Marathon on 28 September 2008 for Heart Care, a local charity based in Walsall, West Midlands.

Well, the Wolverhampton Half went very well - I took it easy over the 13 miles and finished in just over 2 hours. The next 7 miles was ever so slightly more painful! Since the marathon is next week (aarrrgghgh!) I am now "tapering" (running less) and have increased my swimming and cycling cross-training in a bid to save my poor joints. Fingers, toes, eyebrows and teeth crossed then, for my marathon on Sunday! Woo hoo!!!

I will continue my mini training blog here on my fundraising page so that you can all see how hard I am working to achieve my 4-hour marathon target!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Heart Care 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! Thank you all in advance for your very generous donations!
