Unfortunately I have had to withdraw from the 2011 London Marathon. I was so gutted after 3 months hard training but at long last I have finally decided to listen to my body. The bonus is I get a place in the 2012 Marathon instead which is awesome as it is the year the Olympics comes to London.

Thanks to all those that have sponsored me but it has not gone to waste as the Make A Difference Trust is truly a worthwhile charity and I will be back next year to cross that finishing line in style.

Also all is not lost as I will be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon for MAD in October which is giving me a goal and focus to work upon once I get my leg 'fixed'.

Thanks to everyone that has supported me so far.
