As you know, running for miles in a straight line is one of my favourite things in the world.  In April, I will be running for miles in London, in the iconic Virgin London Marathon. I am also going to be attempting my first Ironboy distance triathlon: I'll be swimming, biking then running around Marlow in July... just a couple of months after London. 

I cannot WAIT to run in the capital, and am already dreaming of the finish line!

Running in an amazing race such as London is the perfect oppurtunity for me to try and raise some money for the charity closest to my heart, Medic Malawi. This small, Shropshire-based charity does some incredibly important work in one of the poorest countries in the world and is making a real difference to the people of Mtumthama's lives. It means so much to me as it is where I grew up, and where some of the most special people to me still live.

If everyone that visits this page gave just a pound, that would make a difference in Malawi, so thank you for every penny.
