Thanks for taking the time to visit my Justgiving page..and hopefully you will pledge me some money. 

I am running my first ever marathon..the Virgin London Marathon in April and would love your support as I take the time out, on these winter months, to train.  I am aiming to complete the marathon in 4.5 hours but if all else fails, I will be happy just to get round!!  The draw of the medal at the end and a chilled bottle of wine should keep me going to the finish line!!

I have decided to run for The Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign as this disease touches almost everyone in one way, shape or form.  So please dig deep and sponsor me..your generosity is greatly appreciated.

The Day:

WELL... it wasn't easy.  I started off at a fair lick...soon realised that I was not going to be able to maintain the pace so lost my running buddy and moved to a slower pace.  Hit something...poss the wall at about 18 miles when I first started to get cramp in my left foot making it impossible to keep running. From there on in I stopped to walk whenever the cramp came back but put my head down at 23 miles and soldiered on to the finish...which couldn't come soon enough...I am pleased but wished I could have got under 5 hrs...a target for next time........if there is a next time!!!

Thanks to everyone who has supported me and very kindly donated money... I couldn't have done it without you all so thanks you so much xxxxxx
