My story

Yeah, I did it!!!!!!!

4.25 horray!!! It was a long old way to run, but was worth it - not sure i will do anymore though! 

Ran from Statten Island, thro Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, the Bronx, Harlem and Manhatten finishing in Central Park! I actually do not remember lots of it though. There was over 2 million people lining the route and as i had my name written on my running top I got to hear lots of interesting pronunciations of my name!

The winners of the £100 are Tom and Jennie with a prediction of 4.24.37!! well done you 2! AND they have very generously donated the money back to CF - thanks!!! xxx

Thanks for all your support - it really helped me get round. You are all brilliant!!!!!


I am scared!   Chris has entered me for the New York Marathon!!!!  I am not thanking him for this at the moment!

It seems like a very very very long way to run, it is going to hurt but I am doing it for a worthy cause... The Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

 As many of you will know some of my best friends (Kerry and Phillip) have a gorgeous little girl, Mary (age 6), who was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at birth.  Average life expectancy is around 31 years.

Mary is great and is one of my son's best friends. She has to put up with twice daily physio, approx 35 tablets a day and worryingly this year her liver has shown signs of change suggesting possible liver damage.

YOU CAN WIN,  WIN,  WIN!  (click on "read more" just over to the right) 

To make this a bit more than just asking for your hard earned cash I will be giving £100 of my own money to the person who predicts my marathon time correctly (I will have to split it if there is more than one winner)  

So when you make a donation add your time prediction and keep your fingers crossed!!!!!

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the UK's most common life-threatening inherited disease.

Over two million people in the UK carry the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis - around 1 in 25 of the population.

If two carriers have a child, the baby has a 1 in 4 chance of having Cystic Fibrosis.

Cystic Fibrosis affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, by clogging them with thick sticky mucus. This makes it hard to breathe and digest food.

Each week, five babies are born with Cystic Fibrosis.

Each week, three young lives are lost to Cystic Fibrosis.

Research is the key to finding a cure. The CF trust spend around £4.8 million on research a year and there are at present human trials aimed at mending the CF faulty gene or adding in a healthy gene (gene therapy).


I really want to see a cure and in time to help Mary, so any donations will be massively appreciated.

So support a great cause, give me some much needed extra motivation to get me round and give yourself a chance to win £100!!!!

Thanks very much for any donation you are able to make - every bit counts.
