It's the inaugural Brighton Marathon on 18th April, and while the date is approaching a bit too quickly for my liking, I'm going to be running it!

I'm running for St Thomas' Lupus Trust www.lupus.org.uk, which is a charity that is very close to my heart.  Anything you choose to give is hugely appreciated!

Oh, and can you keep your fingers crossed for a dry, windless day on the 18th, unlike the day that the photo on this page was taken (that's the only reason I'm in amongst all the slow people, honest).
