Virgin London Marathon 2010 · 25 April 2010 ·

WellChild is the national charity for seriously ill children. Thousands of children live with complex medical needs. Many spend months, or years in hospital because there is no support enabling them to leave. We exist to give these children the best chance to thrive: at home, with their families.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and consider sponsoring my madness.

I've been running my way back to physical and mental health after a tough year or two. I thought this "London Marathon" I'd heard of might be a good thing to aim for - and now it feels a bit as if it's aiming for me.

Every penny of your support, which will go to WellChild, the national charity for sick children, will mean I'm extra-motivated to get out and do the training - all 1,000 miles of it.


Dodgy knee notwithstanding, I aim to

a) start the marathon;

b) complete the marathon; and

c) cross the finish line in under 4h 15m


Marathon day is Sunday 25 April 2010. I hope that you'll help support me through these next few months - I want to raise a fabulous amount for WellChild, in the thought that my Dad would have been proud.
