Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be running the London Marathon on 25th April 2010 to raise money for St Anne's Hospice in Newport, who cared for my mum before she passed away from cancer in 2007.

This will be my first marathon.  Training has been extremely tough, but going well and my target is to get inside 4 hours.

Just over a year ago, I raised £500 for St Anne's Hospice by undertaking a grueling 40 mile solo trek, with a total ascent of 9200ft in just 13.5 hours in the city of Lincoln.  This was the hardest physical challenge I have ever undertaken...until now.
