I will be running the first mile for each of you, to say a big thank you for supporting my fundraising and getting me across the start line.

The second, third, fourth and fifth will be for the thousands of UK children who are disadvantaged or disabled through no fault of their own.  After a while, I am sure it will hurt and as I battle through I will remember some of the struggles these kids face every day and the difference that we are making.  

I reserve the last 0.2 miles just for me, dreaming of a cold pint to congratulate myself for blasting such a personal challenge and choosing to run a distance where most normal people would take the car!

Please give what you can, every penny will be greatly appreciated and your support will drive me on with my training.

Thank you, Gemma
