I just need 200 people to donate £5 (or more) to hit my target, come on you can do it!

Hello everyone!

I am looking for a rather larger target for my rather large run. I luckily got a place on the marathon and it is 10 weeks away! It's going to be a real test, I have never ran a marathon before in my life and I am going to train very hard and quit the beer to make sure I get the best time possible.

I am running in support of SportsAid, you can read more about them here. http://www.sportsaid.org.uk/about-us/who-we-help/
