Since turning 40 years old, I have decided to get fitter and running seems to be the obvious hobby to do this. I run my first marathon in Eindhoven, Holland last October as part of my preparation for the London marathon this year. The obvious charity to run for is 'Barnardo's' as my work experiences have opened my eyes to the difficulties that many children and young people in this country face each and every day. I would be absolutely grateful for any donation that you would be willing to make to this fantastic cause. I was looking to beat my previous time of 4.05 hours, but due to knee injury, I will be pleased to complete it! Look out for me, I will be the one in lime green.
