Story

I'm 46 years old and this is my first marathon.  I started running in January 2014 and couldn't run a 100 m without stopping.  Since then I have completed a few half marathons but never dreamed I would be running a full marathon 2 years after starting running.  I'm running  as part of team of  5 running The London Marathon for Worldwide Cancer Research.  I have a long way to go and will need the help of all my friends to cross the finish line.  Thanks for visiting my page.
