Story

Dear all

I promise you aren't seeing things - I really am attempting to run my first ever Marathon in London on Sunday 26th April 2009!

It has always been an ambition of mine to run the London Marathon so I made the executive decision that 2009 will be the year where that ambition is realised!

This is a huge personal challenge for me and certainly not one I am taking lightly.  My running partner Moray Carey and I have endured many a wet, cold, dark, rainy (and snowy) morning to meet at 6:00am during the week before work to build up the necessary mileage. We've also completed a number of longer weekend runs (but we still have a huge number to do between now and April 09) in order to feel fully prepared! 

I have a charity place confirmed through 'Health Unlimited' so would be extremely appreciative if you could sponsor me for this event.  I am certainly not attempting to break any world records and would be absolutely delighted if i make it round in one piece having run every step of the way.

If you haven't used Just Giving before, donating through this site is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Health Unlimited 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.

Thank you very much in advance for your generosity...

With love, Sarah x
