Story

So this is my way of making sure I can fit into my perfect wedding dress - potentially slightly extreme I know!!

In all seriousness, I am running the London Marathon for the World Cancer Research Fund in less than 4 months. Most of you probably think i'm crazy and wonder whether i'll even do it, but the training has officially started and i'm up for it!


I'm running for the World Cancer Research Fund (not cancer research UK so don't get confused!) because cancer affects so many people including so many of my close friends and family its scary. I really want scientists to find cures for all cancers, so anything I can do to help is totally worth it.

I'm doing this for all my friends and family who have lost their lives to the horrible illness, as well as to celebrate those who have made it through and won the battle - hopefully this will get me through all those runs in the dark, cold and rain!

Wish me luck and please donate generously, and if you fancy come and watch along the road on Sunday 26th April :)
