Story

Hello.

So I can get my fist in my mouth (yes that includes thumb) but can I run 26.2 miles? Aparently I think I can. Who wouldn't?

What am I most looking forward to? The actual day (I really am) and funnily enough that finish line.

What am I not looking forward to? Apparently you have to have cold baths after long runs. Running a cold bath? Urgh. You know the feeling when you run a bath and you are just about to get in it  - hand goes in to check the temperature and IT'S COLD? The anticipointment!!!! Well that is me - just hop right in - rubber ducky and all (after a 10 miler).  'It soothes the muscles' - whatever.

Also, someone told me that "at 17 miles your body starts eating itself" - thanks.

So, thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online. (I did not write that - the just giving page did - but why change it - you know what we need). YOUR MONEY!!!!

Here is more blurb (that again is not mine)

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Rainforest Foundation, UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please please please sponsor me now or someday before April 13th! (I wrote that end bit)

Many thanks for your support. Yes really.... something needs to motivate me each mile. And that will be your kind donation!

THANK YOU XXXX
