My story

 
In last June I decided to start getting fit with the intention of being able to run from one end of Broomwood Road to the other without fainting. Not in my WILDEST dreams did I ever think me and London marathon would ever be an item - and I am still not entirely sure it is a match made in heaven.

However, when I saw that the date of the marathon was 26th April, I knew it was something I had to attempt. The 26th April has for the last 9 years been the most terrible day of the year for us as it is the anniversary of Maisy's death. This year it will be the 9th anniversary, and so with a sense of great privilege I am running it for Maisy and for cot death. I know I will think of her the whole way round, and I am sure that is going to help me, and I know raising money for the Foundation for Sudden Infant Death in the hope that one day cot death will be a thing of the past will help me too.

Thank you - really really - THANK YOU FOR SPONSORING ME. It means more than I can say.

Lots of love
Emma
