<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>On 22 April 2012, I will be running the London Marathon, something I've been wanting to do for years. Some of you may know that my brother sadly died of a heart attack last year, caused by undetected heart disease, so I'm running in his honour, and to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation. </p>
<p>Training is going well so far, touch wood - I just about survived 19k in a sandstorm yesterday, but with only 9 weeks to go I have a lot of hard work ahead. Flights back to London are booked and 'Blotto' has been printed on my vest, so there's no getting out of it now! </p>
<p>To all the London crew, it would be great to see you there on the day supporting me - I'll need all the cheers I can get - and of course there will be plenty of beers afterwards to celebrate, if I'm still standing! </p>
<p>Thank you so much for your sponsorship, it means a lot to me and will hopefully help keep me going on the day. </p>
