My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page as I attempt to run the New York Marathon 2008.

On 2nd November, 3 friends and I will run the NY Marathon. Not one to do things by halves, I have gone from a standing start (pardon the pun) in March, to a grueling training regime and a summer packed with local races, early morning runs, blisters and latterly, unfortunately, physio sessions. It has been hard work, and sometimes quite painful, although we suspect the worst is yet to come in NY so please sponsor me!

You might wonder WHY?!?! Well, it's all for Marie Curie Cancer Care's Big Build Appeal in Glasgow (www.bigbuild.org.uk)

Thank you so much for your donation- it is a very worthy cause and much appreciated.

Niki
