Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hey Guys!! Welcome to my page! I am going to run the Blackmores Sydney Marathon on 18th September 2011. The average time for a woman running a marathon is 5 hours 12 minutes, so I am aiming for sub 5 hours.

Running a marathon is one of those things I have wanted to do for a long time. I have jumped out of a plane, climbed up mountains and many other things, now it is time to set this new challenge!

I am running the marathon on behalf of Harry Mills. I met Harry's sister Marie whilst travelling the East Coast of Australia earlier this year. She told me the story of how her brother lost his life to meningitis, just 11 years old. She told me that since then Harry's family and friends have pulled together and raised lots of money for charity in Harry's memory. This was instantly something I wanted to be involved in!

The charity that I am running for is Meningitis Research Foundation. You can find out all about Harry and the hard work that his family and friends have taken part in on his page: http://www.harrymills.co.uk/. You can also find out more about The Meningitis Research Foundation on here.

Now comes the important part. THE DONATING! As you all know I live off big mcs and vodka and running a marathon is a big challenge. I would think that it would be worth digging deep to help this amazing cause and see me run a whole 26 miles! I will also be running the marathon in an Arsenal kit as that was Harry's team, as a big Liverpool fan an Arsenal kit is also something worth seeing me wear!

I will keep you all updated on my progress with training which includes my times for the Perth City To Surf Half Marathon on 28th August. These times will be a great indicator of how well my training is going!

It would be great if as many people as possble could get behind me and support this amazing cause!!

Update - I completed the Perth half marathon in 2 hours! I have been off the booze for nearly 5 weeks!!! Come on guys dig deep! Every little helps! Let's help get new vaccines to stop children like Harry dying of this terrible disease!!

Cheers,
