<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">So why did I start on this mad journey of running 26.2 miles??<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A question I've asked myself many times in the pouring rain and early mornings plodding over Peak District!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Probably three fold, firstly the challenge and on my lifetimes list of to dos, secondly to have a goal that gave me focus to enhance my own health and finally the desire to raise funds for a great cause.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">This all started for me at a company offsite where 3 off us shook hands on doing a 2012 marathon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Really this gave me the commitment I needed to lock in the date and this is now fixed and is on 29th April.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whilst training has been hard really appreciate Lauren and the family putting up with the alarm going off at unearthly hours on a Sunday morning and for oh and ah later in the day.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">I would really like it if you could show me your support for this by sponsoring me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I'm not the sort of person who asks for money even for Charities, I don't think I have done it my adult life. On this occasion having worked closely with the Charity I can recommend them as making a real difference to real people who are on our doorstep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I'd love to have you support as it will motivate me knowing every mile is making a difference and have a feeling I may need to have this particularly between miles 20 to 26.</span></p>
