Story

Well tomorrow I'm going to Tapping House to give in my sponsorship money. Would love to have made it upto that £700 mark but happy with what I have achieved. Could'nt have done any of this without friends and family support. Look forward to helping again if i can.

Well I've finally completed the Virgin London Marathon, I won't be setting the athletics world alight with my time but I had an AMAZING day and met some wonderful people running for there worthwhile causes and some running for personal reasons. My finishing time was 6 hours 49 minutes and 43 seconds but the main thing for me was I made it to the line and got my medal. I confess to being slightly emotional nearing the line and when I finished but its now a couple of days after the event and I am still pinching myself that I actually made it lol. Would I do it again? After I stop aching I actually think I'd like to do it again but let's see how it goes :)

Not long now till the big day and must admit getting more and more nervous. everyone's being really supportive though.

On the 22nd April 2012 I will be taking part in the Virgin London Marathon, my main aim is just to make it around the course but at the same time to help raise money for The Norfolk Hospice Tapping House.

For a start I am not a runner! If I'm honest exercise isn't my strong point in general and when I found out I had a place in the VLM it filled me with dread and I had several sleepless night. Now I'm still not a runner and exercise still isn't my strong point but I feel passionate that I have been given this opportunity and would like to make the most of it and all the better if I can make a difference to other peoples lives in the process.
