Story

Hello,

This will be my first half marathon, and quite possibly the nuttiest thing I have ever done (and this is coming from someone who used to climb up cliffs and abseil down regularly too!), however I have booked my place and ordered my t-shirt so there is no turning back now! 

I will be running a 5k (July11th) and a 10k (May 20th) as part of my training so I will update you on how I get on!

**UPDATE** This morning I ran 10k in Wooburn Park and I can tell you that hill for the first half mile was pure evil!  Despite running quicker than I anticipated (1hr 12 mins) I still managed to come in last!!!  Weather was scorching (I have a sunburnt forehead and nose) and I am feeling knackered in a good sort of way.  A pint of beer has never tasted so good!!

**UPDATE 2** The Windsor half marathon has been cancelled due to Foot & Mouth, so I will be running the Henley half marathon instead, on October 14th - wish me luck for the hill up to Fawley!!!!

Thanks to everyone who sponsors me, it is such a good cause and one that will touch all of us at some point in our lives.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
