So, this may single-handedly be the most terrifying and stupid choice I've ever made, but I'm going to run the 2015 London Marathon (all 26.2 miles of it!) in aid of Tenovus, a charity that is very close to my heart.

Having worked with the Sing with Us choirs, I know first hand just how cancer can affect and destroy peoples' lives, but I have also been lucky enough to help deliver some of the amazing support Tenovus provides to help those affected by this disease in their local communities. By sponsering me to run the 2015 London Marathon, you'll be helping Tenovus to keep doing what they do best: helping them to prevent, treat, and find a cure for cancer. 

Trust me, I'm going to need all the help I can get! Being completely new to this thing called running, I will keep you updated with blog posts, photos and videos to prove that I am training hard and earning every penny. So, please give as generously as you can - I will even include little surprises for those who sponser me along the way! As you can see, £2000 is a lot of money to raise, and I appreciate every single donation no matter how big or small. If you can, please GiftAid your donation, to help me reach my target even quicker. 

Thanks so much for your support - follow my progress as I take on the hardest challenge of my life at www.jessruthmorris.wordpress.com.

I'll see you at the finish line!
