I can't say that I am looking forward to running 26 miles, but at least this will be my one and only marathon. If the training is anything to go by, it is going to be a case of 'mind over matter' (especially for the knees!).

Please sponsor me! I am running for Headway East London, the brain injury charity where, as some of you may know, Beth is a volunteer. Headway have been given notice to vacate their current day centre and are due to move to new premises shortly. As you can imagine, this is not a cheap exercise, so every penny counts. To find out more about what they do at Headway, go to www.headwayeastlondon.org

Using this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Headway East London will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thank you for supporting me in my mad venture!
