Please dig deep and sponsor me, sponsoring me through this page is totally secure. I would prefer you to sponsor me this way as it will save alot of hassle of trying to get the money in after the marathon.

I am aiming to complete it between 3.30hrs and 4.30hrs so that will be a great time if I achieve it although i'm not particularly worried what time I complete it as completing it will be fantastic both for me my daughters, the charity and the people who have kindly sponsored me.

The reason why I have chosen Asthma UK is that my daughter Charlotte who is 8yrs old (pictured) has severe asthma which she was diagnosed with it at 18mths old, she is currently under a respiratory consultant at the Bristol Childrens hospital, she has been in hospital several times having suffered asthma attacks, they now have her asthma under control with the help and use of inhalers, she doesn't let it get her down though because she does ballet, Dragon Tang Soo do (student of Master Ward) and plays football for Stoke Lane girls.

My 4yr old daughter Candia (pictured) has also been diagnosed with asthma but hers isn't as severe as Chralotte is, she is also on inhalers and like Charlote is under the same respiratory consultant at Bristol Childrens hospital.

I found out yesterday when I took Charlotte to see her consultant that her asthma is again not under control as she has just got over a chest infection now we've been told that her acid reflux is linked to her asthma so hearing this has made me more determined to raise valuable funds for Asthma Uk.

So please sponsor me now and help us raise money for a fantastic charity to continue there good work and to help people who are suffering with asthma.

Thanks you from the bottom of my heart.
