In April 2011 I'm going to be running the London Marathon. For 5 months leading up to the race I'm going to be on a strict diet, I'm giving up the beer, I'll be training at least 4 days a week, and then I'll be running 26.2 miles in one go. I've never attempted anything as big or demanding as this before, and I'm going to really need your support!

I'm running for Childline - ChildLine is the UK’s free, confidential helpline dedicated to children and young people. Whenever and wherever children need us, ChildLine will be there for them. If I reach my fundraising target, Childline will be able to train a new volunteer, who will go on to help over 300 children improve their lives.

Please help support this fantastic charity by sponsoring me to run the London Marathon. I really need your help!
