Hi there, my name's Steve Conway, and I'm running in this years Virgin London Marathon on Sunday 17th April 2011.

I have decided to run on behalf of two charities.  One is of a Corporate nature, and the other is of a personal nature.

I am running on behalf of the Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice in conjunction with my employers, The Herald & Times Group (Newsquest) who sponsor this very deserving charity and have been very supportive of my fundraising efforts.

I am 51 years of age, and I have been running half-marathons and marathons for the last 12 years, during which time I have run for different charities, raising funds on their behalf.

I would be most grateful if you could support me in my efforts.
