I have decided to take on the challenge of the London Marathon…AGAIN!!

Whilst I am dreading the countless miles ahead of me before
the main event, I remind myself why I am undertaking this challenge. My sole
aim is to try to raise as much as I can for a great charity that is close to my
heart!

I first came across Starlight when my daughter had a prolonged
stint in hospital and again with my son a few years later. For anyone that has
had the unfortunate experience of being in hospital with a young child, keeping
them happy and occupied when confined is a challenge. Thankfully, starlight
came to our rescue and provided that familiarity of home when away from home!  

So I would kindly request you can donate whatever you are able
and leave the running to me!
