My story

I blame it all on my husband. He entered me into the New York Marathon and by the time I heard I hadn't got a place, I was hooked on the idea.

I've walked a marathon.
I've rowed a marathon.
But, by heck, I've never run one.

Why would you?
It's a chuffing long way. 26.2 miles actually (blame the royal family for the odd distance). But I'm doing it for charity - the National Osteoporosis Society.

Because 1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 will break a bone mainly because of osteoporosis.

1,150 people are dying every month in the UK as a result of hip fractures.

Osteoporosis costs the NHS and government £5 million a day.

The National Osteoporosis Society is the only UK charity dedicated to improving the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

.. and they're a great bunch of people.

So please sponsor me. Many many thanks.
.......now where did the dog go with my trainers.....?
