Let's be honest: I am not a runner. For as long as I can remember, dread has set in when trying to run more than the length of a squash court, cricket pitch or to the front of the bar for last hours. This is seriously going to be killer to train for and try to complete.

Donations made through this secure site go directly to SportsAid. This charity does some awesome work in supporting children to become potential future athletes. The motivation behind taking part in the marathon is to try and raise £1500 for SportsAid.

So whether it is the satisfaction of knowing that you are giving to a good cause, or simply to pleasure of knowing that you will be putting me through one of the most gruelling experiences in my life, it would be really apprecitated if you would show your support by sponsoring me.
