In April, I will be running the Virgin London Marathon for Save the Children.

Although I am extremely nervous and I am sure this will be the biggest physical challenge of my life, I am determined to give it 100% and raise vital funds for our emergency response in Yemen. 

March will mark the third year of conflict in Yemen. Already the poorest country in the Middle East – it has deteriorated into a living nightmare where children starve to death daily, and are shelled and bombed in their homes and schools.

After working for Save the Children for over two years, I know that every penny raised from my page will go towards helping some of the most marginalised children in the world.

Since completing the half marathon in October with Saz, I have kept the training up - running to and from work. I am now upping my game running over 10 miles each weekend to help prepare me for the big day.

Any donation, message of support, petition signature or suggested song will mean a huge amount to me. 

A huge, heartfelt thank you for your support xxxxx 

p.s. wish me luck...it's 26.2 miles !!!!
