I’m running the London Marathon in memory of two very brave people who fought the battle against Leukaemia

- my husband Andrew who died in October 07

- and our amazing friend Laurie Hiscock who died four months later in February 08.

Although I agreed to join the Banana Army and wear the yellow vest for the marathon miles when I cross the FINISH LINE I’ll be looking forward to:

Ø      Ziggy, our puppy, licking my face in memory of Laurie the animal lover

Ø      Something white with bubbles in memory of a much loved husband, Daddy & DD

Ø      For myself, a large glass of red and a bar of bitter sweet.

And, as for the banana (since I believe in sharing), I will donate that to my best friend and running partner for the marathon, Debbie Taylor, the Dietician!
