The London Marathon 2018 is a long way off...and it needs to be! I've got some miles to run to make sure I'm ready to get round. I was born with a wiggly curved spine that ultimately will bend me double and so I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to run the marathon whilst I can still use the traditional approach of facing forward as opposed to backwards peering through my knees...although I'm not discounting it as an option in due course! I'm hoping to raise 2,000 pounds for Spinal Research and really appreciate anything and everything you donate. Thankyou.
