I am excited and fortunate to be running the 2013 Brighton Marathon for Breast Cancer Care, a charity which provides invaluable support for people affected by breast cancer: a cause close to my heart.

In September 2012 I ran my first marathon, over a hilly course, and will aim to match or better my time of 4hrs11, in memory of my first running partner: my Mum.

Leading up to the marathon I will also take part in a 20 mile race and half marathon, in February and March respectively, and would love to achieve decent times in these runs (times won't be ground breaking by many peoples' standards, but it's all relative in running!). I will keep you posted with how each race, and wintery training, goes to hopefully inspire some sponsorship.

If you feel that Breast Cancer Care, and my endeavours, are worthy of a donation then any sponsorship will be so gratefully received and appreciated xxx
