THE BEST (and hardest!) thing I have EVER done....

Somehow the word thank you does not seem enough to explain how grateful i am for all of the amazing support and encouragement i recieved from my frineds and family and in fact everybody who supported me on the way to the mall.

I was a dithering wreck at mile 20 to the end and it was the support alone that kept my midgety legs running to the finish line.

Considering the heat and inability to retain food in body for the week before the race (no carb loading for me!) I am incredibly pleased that i finished as was able to raise so much money for such an amazing cause.

 Brain isn't really working yet so i am sure this sounds like a rambling mess but just wanted to say

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

to everyone xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"What is this madness!?"  I hear you cry.

Amy (the 5'2 midget legs hamster) has decided to run the whole bloomin' London Marathon. Is she MAD!? Someone has told her it is OVER TWENTY SIX MILES long?....and she is still determined to do it!? Blimey! 

True enough 26 miles and 385 yards is no walk in the park but it is what I like to call "a challenge" and I am running for an excellent cause.

I am honoured to be running for such an amazing charity as ACTION FOR CHILDREN, an organisation that does so much for young people.

Action for Children is committed to helping the most vulnerable children and young people in the UK break through injustice, deprivation and inequality, so they can achieve their full potential.
