I'm running a marathon! 

Yes, it's long been on my bucket list and every year when I watch the London Marathon on the TV I boast that one day I'll do it....and that day is finally upon me!

I was lucky to get a place in the Pendleside Hospice ballot, which I am very happy about as it is really is an incredible place which does so much for our community.

Recently having had the pleasure to work with the Hospice, I found out that it takes over £3.5m of funding to run it every year - that's a staggering amount!

So, every penny raised makes a huge difference.

Now to my running...I'm a plodder, so this will be no easy feat. Training is underway and I'm up to 8 miles...just need to times that by 3 and a bit and I've made it! A scary thought, but I'll get there.

I really am grateful for any donation you can make. 

So, in advance, thank you, you're amazing. :)
