Story

<p>I am running the 2012 London Marathon for St Anne's Hospice</p> <p>This is a charity very close to my heart because of one special person...</p> <p>Ann Hill was my coach from 1995 - 2007. &nbsp;She was an inspirational character and someone who I looked up to and respected greatly.</p> <p>Ann achieved some remarkable things as a coach (see link below), even managed to help me achieve one of my dreams of representing Wales during my teenage years. &nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.welshathletics.org/coaches/coaches%27-profiles/ann-hill.aspx">http://www.welshathletics.org/coaches/coaches%27-profiles/ann-hill.aspx</a></p> <p>Ann fought a long battle against Cancer. &nbsp;Unfortunately she lost this fight in December 2007. &nbsp;She was looked after by St Anne's Hospice during her final months.</p> <p>I often use to complain to Ann that running 800m was one lap too far, so for a challenge I thought I would run try and run 105 to raise as much money as I can, for such a worthwhile cause.</p> <p>Please give generously :)</p> <p>--- Some important information from Just Giving ---</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
