Believe it or not, on 13 June 2010, I plan to run (and win) the Southend Half Marathon. Ok, maybe not the 'win' bit, but I do aim to make it round in one piece - and being a good old stick - raise a few quid for char-i-dee at the same time.
I'm running the Southend Half with my lovely sister (see picture) to raise £££'s for the organisation that I am lucky enough to work for - Community Links - which is an innovative charity running community-based projects in east London. Founded in 1977, who help over thousands of vulnerable children, young people and adults every year, with most of the work delivered in Newham, a borough which ranks highly on the index of deprivation. Find out more about Community Links hereFor anyone who cares, you can follow my training progress here at DailyMile.com - a site that really helps to keep me motivated and keep me out of mischief. Sort of!I am also doing the Race for Life on 23 May, with my friends Helen and Clare to raise money for Cancer Research and to remember Helen's wonderful mum and Clare's wonderful dad. So if you would prefer to donate to this worthy cause you can do so here: http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/helenfewtrell3Also running the Southend Half is my fabbo friend Steve, who hasn't set up his fundraising page just yet but when he does I'll link to it here.
Cheers dears, and see you at the finish line for a pint!
