Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  On 26th April this year I will be running the London Marathon.  My first ever marathon!  Those of you that have known me for more than a couple of years will know that I have never been what one might call 'sporty' ;-)  A couple of years ago I started going to bootcamp.  The first session I could barely run the length of the rugby pitch.  Gradually I started improving, seeing results and the best bit - something that I never believed possible  - actually enjoying what I was doing!!  With lots of support, particularly from Steve and Emily, and from Rachael - an incredibly inspiring and slightly crazy trainer and friend, along with many others along the way I now have a completely different attitude to exercise.  I love the buzz it gives you and the feeling of accomplishment. Last year we went down to the London marathon to support a fellow bootcamper and the feeling there was indescribable.  I knew that one day I wanted to be part of it.  I've always encouraged others to do these things but never dared to do it myself...so....I've manned up!  I'M IN!!  

I'm fundraising for Caudwell Children because they make a huge difference to so many children's lives.  Please take a look at their website to see the work they do, it really is life changing.  They are locally based but support children nationally and your money will make a real difference to so many children and their families. They are the only charity I know of where EVERY penny goes directly to the children - their benefactor covers all of the admin and staffing costs - so your money really will make a huge difference!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
