I've done it!
On Sunday 12th June, I ran the Edinburgh Marathon.
Thank you so much to everyone who sponsored and supported me through this personal challenge. I couldn't have done it without you.

I've chosen to run for the Lady Hoare Trust (LHT) which provides support to children who suffer from childhood arthritis, and to their families. This illness, most commonly associated with the elderly, has a devastating effect when it strikes the young. I have selected this charity because a very special little girl that I know suffers from this debilitating illness. Unfortunately, there is no cure.
At present, there is limited help and support available, and the money I raise will go towards increasing the resources accessible to families throughout Scotland.
I would be extremely grateful if you would sponsor me and help raise more money for this worthy cause. Another favour, can you please donate your sponsorship rather than pledge it. As this fundraising page is tied to the London Marathon, it will actually appear as if I have not completed the run, and therefore pledges will not be collected. I will post an update on this page once I have completed the Edinburgh Marathon to let you know how I get on.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Lady Hoare Trust 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.
Many thanks for your support.
