After an alcohol, cigarette, Karaoke fuelled,noodle eating binge through Japan and South East Asia. I made the choice to run this years London Marathon.

I said I would never do this again! especially having to live on a diet of carbs and no alcohol and running 18-23 miles at weekends in the wind and rain. This year Paula Radcliffe has dropped out so at least I have a good chance of winning the prize fund!

As a victim of crime last year my life took a sudden and dramatic change. If it wasnt for charities like Victim Support who put me in touch with people I could talk to confidentally it would have made my road to recovery at a lot harder. The services they provide are free and invaluable and I want to do my bit to give something back.

So please take the time to make a donation, anything you can spare will be gratefully recieved!

P.s Because I'm running for a charity that doesn't have many runners I wont have any support at cheering points. I could do with a volunteer to throw jelly babies at me at around the 13 mile mark and another to meet me at the end ( to help me walk!)
