Flora London Marathon 2009 · 26 April 2009 ·

Time & Talents was founded in 1887 to help those in need in Rotherhithe and Bermondsey. Today we run projects, including those for older and younger people and offer our space to be used by a range of groups and individuals as well as providing volunteering opportunities for the whole community.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

My preparations are going pretty much to plan for me. Leave everything until the last minute then a mad rush before I muddle through in the end!

Training is mostly pain over pleasure, with my knees really giving me some trouble. My last run included 20 minutes of running with a stitch, aching knee tendons, a tight hamstring and a calf strain.

My longest training run will probably be on Friday 27th March, when I have arranged a collection day at London Bridge station for Time and Talents. I'm hoping to have a running machine set up on the concourse and to rack up over 20 miles throughout the day.

UPDATE

Well I exceeded my running expectations on the 27th by racking up nearly 33 miles throughout the day. The fundraising didn't go as well as planned though, as we only collected £350 when i was hoping for double that amount. A big thank you to everyone who came along to rattle a tin, notably Colin and Tom, who each had the unenviable task of helping me shift the treadmill between the health club and the station at either end of the day. Thanks too to the staff at London Bridge Station, who were nearly all very helpful, and Topnotch health club who provided the treadmill free of charge.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Time And Talents Association gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
