As many of you know, Dad and I completed the Royal Parks Half Marathon last October and despite being pipped to the post by a mere two minutes, I caught the running bug.

I can't complete the marathon this year for "oz"vious reasons (my jokes just keep getting better) so I'm taking on the next best thing. The City2Surf is a 14km run from Sydney city centre out to Bondi Beach and despite being shorter than a half marathon contains something called "Heartbreak Hill" which more than makes up for it! 

I am continuing to fundraise for Anthony Nolan because they do such fantastic work. Bone marrow donation is such a simple procedure with amazing life-saving potential. Same story as last year - please donate in lieu of birthday gifts and I will be eternally grateful!

Much love,
