I am running the London Landmarks Half Marathon in April to help raise money for WaterAid. 

As many of my friends and family who caught the exercise bug long before me will tell you, I am better known at these sorts of events as the person cheering on from the sidelines with a cigarette in hand. Or finishing the Champagne mid-race - despite supposedly buying it for the actual runner to enjoy when they crossed the finish line. 

All I am trying to say, is that those who know me well will understand this is very much not my thing. Which I hope will give everyone a good laugh and encourage you to dig deep and help me raise as much money for WaterAid as possible. Clean water and good sanitation is a basic human right, and raising money for this brilliant cause is the motivation I need to drag myself around the 13 mile course in April.

Thank you so much for your help! x
