Marathon running · 7 November 2012

Migraine is the most common and disabling neurological disorder in the UK, which affects 1 in 7 people. The Migraine Trust is the only research and support charity for people affected by migraine in the UK. We fund and promote research, provide support and information, and campaign for change.

Story

14.5 mile run done around London's parks. Good start to the weekend! 7 weeks until London!

13 mile run along the Devon coast, knee felt all good! 1hr 45. 7 weeks until London

Aim for the London marathon is to get below 4 hours, preferably closer to 3.30....

Knee injury seems to have repaired well, 12 mile run round central London completed at a decent pace and it felt good. All set for full in training for the London marathon in 2 months!!

In late 2006 I had a serious head injury, which for some reason, (which is being investigated) left me with migraines. These migraines were for a time completely uncontrollable and resulted in me freezing my uni degree for a year. The other complications I had as a result are now sorted. However it is the migraines which are having a long term effect. The Migraine Trust have been awesome for me, providing lots of help and advice and have put me in touch with some doctors that are now making a difference.

This is a charity that is very close to my heart giving me a lot of support and thus to give something in return I am running a number of marathons and other races Please sponsor me, so I can reach my target and help the Migraine Trust. I know times are tough but every little helps towards a managed migraine world. Your donations are very gratefully received.

Thank you very much for all your support.
