<p>Hi there and thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>On April 10th I will be running my 9th marathon when I attempt to get round the Brighton Marathon and it would be great if you could sponsor me</p>
<p><strong>STOP PRESS </strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Managed to get round in 4 hours 2 minutes and whilst disappointed to not get under 4 hours (too hot!) pleased that I was over half an hour quicker than last year</span></p>
<p>I am running on behalf of Teenage Cancer Trust in memory of my niece Laura who tragically died of cancer back in 2007 at the ridiculously young age of 17 and is still missed terribly by all her family. I have been training quite hard and have recently completed a half marathon (1 hour 45) and did an 18 miler last Sunday (3 hours) - I hope to be around the 4hour 15 mark in Brighton</p>
<p>Whilst I have done the dreaded 26.2 miles before I can assure you that it is not getting any easier particularly as I have quite a big birthday coming up this year showing my mature years</p>
<p>I also know that times are tough but any donation - even if only £1 - would be gratefully recieved</p>
<p>Many thanks</p>
