My story

 

This year i have been living in Scotland for 10 years. I thought I should do something memorable for my 10th year anniversary. I' ve decided to run the Edinburgh Marathon on 31 May.....I have to say i have never done any kind of race before-- when I was an athlete I hated running training. As a sports person I always thought if you want to win a medal go for the gold to be the best -- so same thinking with this run, may as well go for the full pain, full marathon!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: China Children and Teenagers’ Fund gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please please sponsor me!!!!
