We all like challeges in life and after undertaking a half marathon back in 2008 i've decided to take it to the next level - yep a marathon, a whole 26 miles and 385 yards! Certainly looking forward to the 385 yard bit, don't know about the 26 miles that comes before it.

The charity that I'll be running for this year will be the Spinal Injuries Association (SIA). Following a slipped disc my mother had several operations on her back which unfortunately left her paralysed from the waist down. For nearly 2 decades now her courage and determination, and support from charities such as from the SIA (and not forgetting Dad), she has been able to adjust extremely well to lead an active and relatively normal lifestyle.

Through your donation, however large or small, people like my mom (well I do live in America now) will benefit from this great charity. So dig deep, down the back of the sofa, and check those coat pockets for that loose change. Every little bit will make a difference.

   If you would like to check out the couse then here is the link:  http://www.nationalmarathon.com/SunTrust_National_Marathon/SunTrust_National_Marathon_Course.htm

   Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
