In April I am running the London Marathon for the charity Spread A Smile. For those of you that don’t know I am not a runner, but I am pushing myself for this really great cause.

You may not of heard of this charity, however the mission of Spread a Smile is to distract seriously ill children and teenagers from the monotony of long hospital stays by spreading joy and laughter to many of them whilst they are in hospital and bringing a smile to their faces during difficult times.

Every year the many teams of entertainers make thousands of virtual and bedside visits, distracting children from pain and treatment of the hospital environment, whilst trying to create positive memories for them, their parents and siblings. This support also includes family events and outings, Smile TV, art workshops, painting children's radiotherapy masks and family support.

I hope you can support this very worthwhile cause in any way you can to bring smiles to as many of these children and teenagers as possible.
