Hi Everyone,

I have decided that after 3.5 years of being an unfit student, with a steady gain of weight.... It is time to get fit, and sort my body out!

I am running the Leeds Half Marathon in May for the Martin House Children's Hospice. My project this year has enabled me to spend time at this place in Wetherby, Yorkshire. It provides care for children and young people with life limting diseases, and is a wonderful place, and a really worth wile cause.

Please try and dig deep and sponsor me for this half marathon - I have never done anything like this before, and aiming to get a time below 2 hours - I have been training hard already  -the slog has only just started!
