At long last after years of thinking about doing the Marathon, I'm actually going to do it.

People who know me, know I like to keep fit. I play football, go to the gym etc. But this is a different kettle of fish. Its ok for me to run up and down a football pitch, which I can only just about do these days (before anyone else says it) but to run 26.2 miles I must be nuts.

The good thing about this though, as I like a good shop. I'll get the chance to buy all the latest gear for running (mind you that would just be a Sat Nav to stick on my head) otherwise I could end up anywhere..haha!

Seriously though, this is a tough challenge as anyone who has done it knows.

I really want to help make a difference, to people who benefit from the Calvert Trust. Bearing in mind a £1000 would enable 5 people to have a life changing experience at one of the 3 Calvert trust centres
