On Sunday 3rd October I will be running in the famous London Marathon after being accepted through the ballot (10th year of applying). This will be my first ever marathon and after completing all the training in prep for last year's I cannot wait to get started (Not so keen to get training again) After the tough year that charities have had last year, I am going to run it in support of Sue Ryder.

As you can see below, Sue Ryder does some amazing work and anything I can raise to support will be hugely appreciated. Having only run a couple of half marathon's, this will be a huge challenge and the more money I can raise, the easier it will be to drag myself out on the countless training runs I need to fit in between now and the start of October. 

Sue Ryder supports people through the most difficult times of their lives. The charity's doctors, nurses and carers give people the compassion and expert care they need to help them live the best life they possibly can. The charity takes the time to understand what's important to people and give them choice and control over their care. This might be providing care for someone at the end of their life, in one of their seven hospices or at home. Or helping someone manage their grief when they've lost a loved one. Or providing specialist care, rehabilitation or support to someone with a neurological condition.
