Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the London Marathon in memory of my school friend who passed away suddenly April 2011 at the age of 50 we lived next door to each other until I moved away, his mum and my mum still live next door and have done for 46 years.

And my one of my best friends Uncle, passed away last week and was looked after by the Willen Hospice at home team his name is Dennis Wilson.

I will be wearing the Help the hospice vest with sunflowers and as I have run this before, now know what I am up against.

I have been training hard for this event it isn't easy with injuries, but am now on the final countdown and so looking forward to running the London Marathon again, it means a great deal to all at Help the hospice, they assist employees in additional training required within all the hospices, I know from experience as my husband works for a local hospice and we are all very proud of him and all the employees for what they do. So please give generously it does mean a lot to them and to me.
