Hi All :)

Yes you are reading this right, I am running the Brighton Marathon 2013 and before you ask this is not a half marathon, it’s the full 26 miles and 360 yards.

The money I raise will go toward's the Upbeats Programme run at  Charlton Athletic Community Trust.

The Charlton Upbeats is a bespoke programme delivered by the Charlton Athletic Community Trust for young people with Down's Syndrome.

More than 100 kids have registered in the first year and this Down's Syndrome Sports Club now has between 25-30 regular attendees aged between 5 to 24. Sessions are organised every Saturday and are delivered at Charlton's Sparrows Lane training ground in New Eltham.

I'm not sure what I have actually let myself in for but I am training hard and will be doing a blog on my progress, which will be posted on www.cact.org.uk, if anyone is bored at their desk and fancies a look.

Any donation will help, as I know times are hard for everyone, so anything from just a little tiny pound would be gratefully appreciated.

This is probably the biggest thing I have ever attempted to do in my life so I would love for you all to try and make it down to Brighton on the 14th April and cheer me along.

Happy Donating.
