Story

***THANK YOU** THANK YOU** THANK YOU**THANK YOU***

5 hours, 32 Minutes - Ran Every Step !!!!!!! not bad after 5 weeks of not running...ouch...ouch...  

Hi, thanks very much for visiting this page, myself and good friend Lucy are rather madly running the London marathon on April 13th (well, what better way to celebrate your 29th birthday??!!) we're both still freaking out slightly...

...It would be really great if you could sponsor us.. It's a massive personal challenge and we have a long way to go over the next four months (and many, many miles) not to mention the cold, dark nights, sensible eating and lack of alcohol (uurrgghhh)

I know the event isn't until April but it would be really great if you could sponsor us now - it will let us know we're on our way to our target - and give us an extra incentive to hit the road...

We've chosen to support the charity arc, arthritis is a crippling disease which affects over 7million people in the UK, it runs in both our families and the charity also supports research into ankylosing spondylitis (so this one's for you Dad x ).. it's a very good cause!

If you are interested and want to track my progress you can log onto my blog, you can leave me messages (and abuse if you don't think I'm running enough) you should be able to find it on...realbuzz.com....blogs...'marathon virgin'... 

And whilst you are at it visit Lucy's page at www.justgiving.com/lucyhayman (she's fab and am sure will keep me going 'til April)

Anyway, Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online, am open to bribes for fancy dress!

Many thanks for your support.

Can I just say a MASSIVE thankyou to everyone who has visited this page and been VERY generous is sponsoring me - I've now raised enough to secure my golden bond place - which is fab news - am 5 weeks into training so it's all getting a bit serious now! Now I want to try and raise as much as possible for this very worthy charity x
