Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  On Sunday 9th October 2011 I did the Liverpool marathon in 5 hours and 48 minutes.  I trained intensively for 18 weeks-not to mention the last 10 years running with my friends Clare and Jackie (who also finished)! Thank you to my mum, Rach, Jo and Chris for support on the day. Thanks for all your messages of encouragement.

I am raising money for the Douglas Macmillan Hospice in Staffordshire which provided support and invaluable 'hospice at home' care for my nan Carrie Smith in 2007. Please see the DMH website for information about the excellent work they do.Thanks for your generosity- Alison X
