All training is done and the countdown has started. Fingers crossed everything goes better than last year.

Once again I have taken up the challenge to run the London Marathon. As with previous years I have decided to run in memory of my father in law Pete Morgan. For those who don't know Pete,  he was a keen sportsman and the London Marathon was very special to him, completing it in a  3 hours 5 minutes. I know there is sod all chance of me beating that time but i know he will still be proud of me pounding the streets.

We are raising money for the Orchid Cancer Appeal so that other families do not have to suffer the pain and heartache we have had to.
