Last year I did the GNR in secret... only telling my mum the night before and JP from the starting line! Bit of a random thing to do but I just wanted to see if I could do it!!! I completed it in 2hrs 10m, and considering a year before I could bearly run it was a massive achievement for me.

I've been delayed in some of my training with achilles injuries, which has made it a bit flustrating with training, but with a bit of rest, ice and physio i'm back up and running and should be ok for the 20/09/09.

This year I'm telling everyone and raising money for the RNLI, we lost my Gran a year ago... the RNLI was the charity she especially supported. My Gran was always determined and I think a bit of that and her kookyness has rubbed off on me!

Any donation no matter how small is welcome, the rnli relies on donations to launch its lifecrafts and for lifeguards on our beaches.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: RNLI - Royal National Lifeboat Institution 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!

Thankyou very much in advance.
