Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Running the marathon has always been a challenge I have wanted to undertake but until now have never committed to.  That, however, has all changed.  In a temporary moment of insanity (!) I signed on the dotted line and now find that, having never run more than a mile before, I have now committed myself to running 26 miles in front of thousands of people! As they say, "beware what you wish for".......!! 

In addition, I have agreed to raise £1,750 for the Care of Older People Appeal at my hospital so not only is there a big probability that I will end up with dodgy knees but you may well also see me busking down the tubes to pay the bills! (there would be the added bonus of weight loss if I didn't just eat more chocolate to compensate!.....not a practising dietitian eh?!!)

In all seriousness, it is great to be given the opportunity to undertake the marathon & the fact that I will also be raising money for our hospital is an added bonus.

Thus far, friends & family have all been really supportive and thank you all for that, and, whilst I know the rise in the cost of living/recession has made its mark and I hate to put a bigger burden on your budgets, any donations towards the appeal would be gratefully received, if only to prevent you hearing my croaky voice down the tube!

As Lance Armstrong once said: "Pain is temporary, quitting is forever"....hope he's right about the pain bit!

Thanks.
