I have run 4 marathons before trying to qualify for London but have never quite made the time required (my best time of 3:05:25 was a painful 26s short that's 1s per mile...ARRRRRGGGGHHHH!). I'm now back for my first marathon post children and hoping to break the 3h mark.

I am raising money for Prison fellowship - its a charity my brother-in-law introduced me to. I think it's brilliant as in our disposable culture we can easily forget that everyone deserves a second chance and nobody is beyond hope. Prison Fellowship does amazing work at getting alongside people in Prison to give them the best chance of restoring relationships/communities and their lives. Please chip in whatever you can to support this amazing cause!
