On April 22nd 2012 I will be running the London Marathon to raise money for The Society for Mucopolysaccharide Diseases (the MPS Society) in memory of Amie Oliver. Amie would have been 21 in March this year so to show her we haven't forgotten her (and never will) it seems a good time to raise some money in her name for the charity that supported her and her family.

As all those who ever met Amie will know, she was a 'once met never forgotten' young lady. She had a huge personality, an infectious giggle and I know any of you reading this and thinking back to time spent with her will be smiling. She lived life to the full and despite being in pain and discomfort a lot of the time, she had an amazing sense of humour and was passionate about many things- especially Liverpool FC; her friends and family; pop music; and shopping to expand her very extensive clothing and jewellery collection - mostly pink, furry and/or glitzy!

Wherever she is I know she'll be laughing at me for running round getting sweaty in odd clothes, but she'll also be shouting the loudest above the crowds - "Come on Clare. Get on with it. Go faster..!"

RIP lovely girl. I miss you.
