IF you know me personally, then you’ll know I’m rather mad.

And, just to prove it, I will be running the London Marathon for a fifth time in 2016.

So far I have endured mixed success running around the capital city.

But hopefully this time around it will all go to plan and I might not lose to a man dressed as a camel and finish in a time I might actually want to find out!

Anyway, the main point of my mission is to raise as much money as possible for Havens Hospices.

Through  my job at the Echo, I’ve become increasingly aware of the fantastic job they do in our local community.

And it would therefore be brilliant if you could help me raise as much money as possible for this brilliant charity.
