What’s the best way to kick start life after uni graduation?

How about training to run the 26.2 miles of the 2010 London Marathon!

As crazy as that sounds, I am proud to say that I have a guaranteed position to run and fundraise on behalf of my charity Crimestoppers

But why would I put myself through this?!

I really do love a challenge. And what a challenge this is.

I've always believed that almost anything in life is possible and this is my chance to prove it! I’m really enjoying getting back into athletics and escaping some of the more shall we say ‘indulgent’ aspects of student life

But why fund raise and why Crimestoppers?

It might be an unusual choice, but Crimestoppers jumped out to me as something really worthy of my support. Since its establishment, anonymous calls and reports via its website have had a considerable impact on solving crime and improving our society.

Fundraising could help develop and expand their organisation. When looking at their success rates, it’s clear that the money will be put to very good use. Check out the ‘20 Hot facts about Crimestoppers’ from the link below. It's amazing what they have achieved.

Fundraising plans are in place but I need your support to reach my targeted sum of £1,250. Maybe I can even surpass this figure..

So think of me during the winter months of training as I freeze my...insert body part here….off and donate some money for my charity.

Thanks for reading my page and for all your support
