Run to the Beat - London's Half Marathon · 15 June 2008

There are 14.7million people – that’s more than one in six – in the UK living with a neurological condition. Here at the country's leading neurological centre, we’re passionate about supporting the hospital to help improve the lives of patients through treatment and research.

Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

Fancy seeing you here again.. Contrary to any profanities I shrieked at about mile 18 of the London Marathon, I am now doing a half marathon in October.

To those of you who think 'Um, a half marathon is not as long as a whole marathon..' well, yes, that's true. But the trouble is, I injured myself by falling over three miles into the London Marathon (but still finished!!) and my injuries pretty much mean that it's been just as hard again this time.

So on October 5th I am determined that I will be fit and well enough to run a half marathon. This time it is a marathon to music! Around Docklands! I am hoping it will be very Ashes to Ashes. I am raising money for a charity that funds research into brain disorders. Again, a rather unsexy and not very well known charity, but one that is doing serrrriously valuable work.

Can we make a deal? I promise to get fit, do all of the deeply boring physio exercises I am given and do my very, very best not to fall over again. And please could you bung me a tenner?

If not, I will come round to your house and show you my toenails. I only have seven.

Thank you!!!
