<p class="MsoNormal">On 22 April, I will be attempting to run the London Marathon for the first time. It's going to be tough – and I'm not expecting a fast time. But the thing that will drive me on – and has kept me going through months of gruelling training – is thinking about the two great charities I am running for, both of which I have worked closely with over the last few years: <a href="http://www.stammeringcentre.org/">Action for Stammering Children</a> and <a href="http://www.whizz-kidz.org.uk/">Whizz Kidz</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can donate to Action for Stammering Children on this page and this is what your sponsorship money could help to fund: </p>
