AGH!  I'M RUNNING THE LONDON MARATHON 2014!

This page was originally set up with the intention of raising £500 for my chosen charity, LCCCP, running the Nike Run to the Beat 1/2...but now I've had the exciting/terrifying (in equal measure) news that I have a place with them to run next year's London marathon, the stakes have been raised to £1500!

For the next few months I am going to get my run on in aid of The London Centre for Children with Cerebral Palsy.  My wonderful friend Catharine, who is a teacher/conductor at the school, brought this wonderful charity into my knowledge and I couldn't think of a more inspiring group of children to run my socks off for.

The school supports not only the children, but also their families, nurturing them from babies through to the age of 11.  Fundraising is integral to the school's constant good work.

On a visit to the school I caught a glimpse into the work that they do.  The teachers, conductors and all the staff strive every day to aid the children's physical and mental development and to make each and every day wonderful, as it should be for every child.  I made friends with two very friendly Theo's who chatted with me non stop whilst making collages from natural objects we found in the garden.  I shared jokes with Gregory who also challenged me to a few games of true or false.  I made friends with Jaspar who inspired me with his incredible ability to communicate, though he is non-verbal.  I was struck with how technology and conductive education met to fulfill so many of the childrens' basic needs.

I want to give something back to the children at the school who made my day so enjoyable and I'm going to run like the wind in order to achieve that.

Please sponsor me, the more you give, the more impossible it becomes for me to wimp out!
