Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So on a sunny day in May last year I signed up to run the London Marathon, something that's been on my bucket list for a long time. What I didn't realise at the time was that this would involve not just one day of excruciating pain but three months of unendurable agony, as I drag my neglected body into something vaguely resembling fitness. Still waiting for the 'endorphin high' I've been promised to kick in.

If the schadenfreude this scene provokes is not in itself a good enough reason to make a donation, please also consider the great campaigning work that the Suzy Lamplugh Trust do to keep our society safe - you can find out more at www.suzylamplugh.org. They're a small charity run really well by Rachel Griffin and her fantastic team. Your donation will really be appreciated.
