I ran the Boston Marathon in the spring and finished second in my age group there and in the UK.  I would love to improve on that in the Chicago Marathon on 9th October, although you can never tell how it's going to go on the day.

I really want to raise funds for Poole Hospital as well so I hope you will be able to find a few coppers to support me in this aim.  I've been training hard - often the toughest bit, especially in all the hot weather we had this summer.

Thanking you very much in anticipation.
