Those who know me know I love to keep fit but also that I'm not a natural athlete..I'm finding keeping up with the training plan very challenging, let alone the Marathon itself! 

Balancing the training with a demanding job and being a single parent is a struggle but this is nothing compared to the struggle some children are facing so I hope to raise money to help them.

The NSPCC is the leading children's charity fighting to end child abuse in the UK and Channel Islands. We help children who have been abused to rebuild their lives, protect those at risk, and find the best ways of preventing abuse from ever happening.Every child deserves the best possible chance to rebuild their life after abuseThat’s why we’re here. That's what drives all our work. And that’s why – as long as there’s abuse – we will fight for every childhood.
