<p>Firstly, thanks for taking the time to visit my VLM JustGiving page!</p> <p>As many of you know and some of you witnessed, the last marathon me and Scriv did was a bit of a mess... Incredibly unluckily, I got food poisoning 2 days before the race and was still super ill on the day.</p> <p>Despite all the loo stops and feeling like I was dying... we made it to the finish line, and my wonderful best friend stuck with me every step of the way!</p> <p>Some might think that that experience would be enough to put both of us off for life, but we actually feel like we have some seriously unfinished business out there on that course and are determined to do ourselves justice this time round.</p> <p>We are running for a fantastic charity, which Scriv works for - Independent Age. The charity does some amazing work helping old people and this is something which is becoming more and more important to me with my own family.</p> <p>It would be fabulous to have your support in our quest and for the charity so please come and watch us on the day if you can (mile 20 - great bowls club with cheap booze!) and make a donation to this super cause.</p> <p>Thanks a million! x</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
