Story

Ever the glutton for punishment, I am taking on two marathons in the

space of two months, from the extremes of an active volcano in Guatemala, to the concrete streets of London. I will be splitting
the fundraising between Street Child, whose powerful work with children across the globe
focuses on a combination of education, child protection and livelihood support to address the issues that underpin today’s education crisis, and SERES, a local Guatemalan charity that focuses on the development of young leaders to catalyse change in their communities. 

I've been training about as hard as my old legs will allow, even giving up alcohol for a month (some of you will know that this is a true indication of my desire to complete the challenge in one piece!) Please give a little, or a lot, in honour of two incredible charities - your donations will be split 50/50. See you on the other side.
