<p>I decided it would be a good idea to run the London Marathon, that was until I actually got a place! For the next 23 weeks I will attempt to make the transition from hardly being able to keep my breath climbing a particularly long set of stairs to staying upright for 26 miles around London at a pace marginally faster than walking.</p> <p>Now that you have had a minute to compose yourself and stop laughing at the mental image of me in any form of sports gear, please take the time to look at the web page for 'ASSERT'</p> <p>http://www.angelmanuk.org</p> <p>This charity is particularly important to me as it helps out a very dear friend of mine who's little girl has Anglemans.</p> <p>Any donation you can make whether money or running advice (seriously, its 26 miles!) will be much appreciated</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
