On Sunday 26th April I will be running the London Marathon, raising money for the amazing SANDS charity.

With absolutely no prior running experience and zero fitness I obviously wasn’t thinking straight when I entered the ballot! 

However, not one to pass up on a challenge I have been training hard since October so hopefully I am prepared! 

I have chosen to raise money for Sands. Sands is a UK charity that works across the country to support anyone affected by the death of a baby; improve the care bereaved parents receive from health care and other professionals; and reduce the number of babies who do die by funding research and working closely with other organisations to create a world where fewer babies die.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
