I am running the 2012 London Marathon. Yes, you heard correctly, I have accepted the challenge and will be running 26.2 miles in aid of two extremely worthy causes - The Kent Law Campaign and Crohn's and Colitis UK.

Kent Law Campaign is a £5million fundraising project to build a new home for the Kent Law Clinic which provides free legal advice and representation to those who need but cannot afford access to legal services and the University's Mooting Programme. For more information about this Campaign visit the University's website. It is a fantastic cause and I urge you to support it.

I am not a natural runner and, as the photograph illustrates, I am probably more likely to be found with a glass of champagne in my hand rather than a bottle of Lucozade so this will most definitely be a huge personal challenge!!

Through training I now have constantly painful knees, a dodgy hip and dread my next long run however I am nothing if not determined and promise to keep going until I cross the finish line on The Mall!!

I would be most grateful if you would sponsor me to take on this challenge - I need all the support I can get! The University will match each donation you make pound for pound including gift aid which will really help the Campaign.

All donations you make through this page will be given to the Kent Law Campaign and will not be split with my other charity.

Thank you.

P.S. If you will be in London on Sunday 22nd April, please do come along and cheer me on!
