Before Mum died in 2009, I made her a promise that I would run a marathon in aid of breast cancer research.  What possessed me to say such a thing I’ll never know, but it's not a promise I intend to break.

Breast Cancer Campaign have offered me a charity place in the 2011 London Marathon, so I'm getting my running shoes on!

All the treatment that Mum faced and the pain she went through, yet she lived with a smile on her face.  She was a fighter and never gave up, nor did she stop smiling, and that's how I plan to tackle my training. 

Cancer has taken my Mum from me way too early and I don't want anyone else to go through the same pain.  We have to stop this disease and the only way I can help is by raising lots of money so that research can take place.

I aim to raise as much money as possible and will do whatever I can to reach my goal.  I hope you'll help me along the way!

Thanks again to everyone for all the support you've given my family and me over the years.  It's meant so much to us.

I miss you Mum!!
