It's fair to say that I'm not a natural runner (see picture). However, over the last few years I've watched various male relatives run this Marathon and I thought why can't I? 

My lovely Grandma was an avid supporter of my chosen charity, Break. Sadly she died last year and the last thing I said to her was that I would run the London Marathon so I'm sure she'll be very proud.

If you can spare a bob or two for this very worthy cause I would be incredibly grateful.

Also, I will be attempting to not drink for the months in the run up to this great event which is a feat in itself.

Many thanks in advance!
