I am running the London Marathon on the 22nd April and raising money for the Friends of Tyrrells.

The first four months of 2018 for me has included plenty of training, long weekend runs and healthy eating! There has been some challenging weather but I will hopefully be at the start line in good health and looking to complete the 26.2 miles in under four hours.

The Friends of Tyrrells (FOT) is a fund-raising charity (Registered charity number 1000969) set up by parents to support The Tyrrells Primary School. The funds they raise throughout the year help to enrich school activities and provide social opportunities for parents and children. For more information please see the FOT webpage http://www.tyrrellsprimary.com/friends-of-tyrrells/

FOT are specifically raising money for a much needed all-weather football pitch and I hope any money raised by running the marathon will help them meet their targets. I have a daughter, Matilda in year 3 at Tyrrells and my son, Jude, will hopefully join Reception in September.

Any donations would be really appreciated towards this great cause.
