1 week to go!

I'm not sure what came over me when I asked the dystonia society if they had a place for the 2010 London Marathon....

But here I am 14 (ish) stone of bulk never deisgned to run begining to train for 26 miles of running, jogging or maybe walking.

After being told Elena would not walk or even sit up I decided to put some effort into fundraising for the charity that have helped us to understand the condition.

My first training run in May with David was a hard 5k (mainly walking and panting) the threats of military style shouting the next time will help to motivate me to get fitter fairly quickly.

Since starting my training with a half marathon in September I have competed in a few events including a Duathalon, 10K off road race and 2 10 Mile races. I am hoping to complete in the London Marathon in under 4 hours!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Dystonia Society gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
