This year I am running the Brighton Half Marathon on 19 February, the Brighton Marathon on 15 April and the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco on 14 October. 

I appreciate that at certain times of year the internet can seem like a giant begging bowl set up to fund people’s hobbies, so this year I got all of my places for these races independently. I am running because I can: I am running for the people who can't.

People (LOVELY people) still ask how they can sponsor me though. So I have set up this page for the Royal Marsden, which is the most amazing hospital filled with awe-inspiring people. What both patients and staff get up to there on a daily basis makes a running two marathons seem like a walk along the seafront.

I would love it if you could give them some money, as having done something good always helps with the bit of the race when I am filled with convinction that it will never, ever end, or at best my legs will drop off.
