Dear all,

As many of you know over the past few months Daniel Smiths little boy Nathaniel has been in hospital since birth. Nathaniel has had an extremely difficult start to life. Both Daniel and Priscilla have spent the past months in the Hospital on a daily basis, whilst Nathaniel has under gone various operations and treatments.

Daniel has said from the very beginning, the care Nathaniel has received from the Hospital has been fantastic and has helped both Daniel and Priscilla through this difficult time.  

I had been contemplating running the Marathon in 2010, Dan and I were discussing in early December, we decided there could be no better charity to run for than ECHO - Evelina Children’s Heart Organisation. Daniel spoke with the Charity and was able to organise a place, I did ask him to join me on the marathon run....However he told me there was only room for one more..... ?  

I have started training but still have great deal of work to do. I am learning my desire for food (cakes) and drink (beer) is not the fuel that is needed for running.

I would greatly appreciate all donations however large or small. 

Thank you to everyone that donates to this great charity
