In March, my friend, Clara, announced that she was going to run a marathon this summer. I thought I'd show my support by doing the odd training run with her. The odd run soon turned into more regular runs and before I knew it, I was entered to run the marathon too!

The thought of running 26.2 miles is both exciting and scary, as I'm a marathon virgin, and sometimes I wonder what I've let myself in for. (I'm finding out as the miles increase!) Knowing that I'm doing this for a charity that helps young people to speak up and change their community through music and media, here in the UK and abroad keeps me going.

Thanks for coming to look at my page. Any donation is really appreciated. Please Gift Aid it if you can. :)
