If all goes to plan over the next few weeks, on 30th September, I will be lining up at the start of the Loch Ness Marathon, ready to defeat my demons and run 26.2 miles. As well as aiming to get the marathon "thing" out of my system, I am fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support and it would be fantastic if you could support them by sponsoring me.
