For the last 9 years I have entered the London Marathon Ballot, its always been on the bucket list. I'll admit, not at the top!! However, October came this year - I was away travelling and my housemate sends me a picture of the magazine saying CONGRATULATIONS!! Initially I think, oh s***, however, I'm ready to face this challenge and training so far has been going well.

I have chosen to run for Essex & Herts Air Ambulance - my Grandad's favourite charity and of course has a special place with our family. I also now have the privilege of occasionally working alongside them in the brilliant emergency care they provide in our local area.   

I appreciate any donations you can provide to help this amazing charity and the work which they provide. Additionally, I know this will continue to motivate throughout my training.

I found this quote and i feel its very apt to me;
"Any idiot can run, but it takes a special idiot to run a marathon!"

I also want to add - I can eat all i like while training for a Marathon....right!??
