I know,I know ... I had said that I wouldn't run the London Marathon again (after all surely three times is more than enough!).  Still this year the Marathon falls on my birthday and I couldn't help thinking 'why not? Just once more!'  and I'm sure I could run it that little bit faster ......

Anyway, thank you so much for visiting my Just Giving Page.  I have chosen to support our local hospice (the Arthur Rank) again.  Sadly we have had two friends in need of their care in the last 2 years.

Natasha, one of the Hospice Fundraisers kindly gave me a tour one day after the 2011 LM. I was quite taken back at how sparce a place it was in terms of fixtures and fittings although the staff were very friendly and welcoming and I know that our friends were well looked after. Fundraising for the Arthur Rank last time I have to say was a life-affirming experience; it was wonderful how much support and love there was locally for it.

I really do appreciate any donation however small and I promise that this really will be my last London Marathon!
