Having completed my first ever half marathon on Sunday, 10th October 2010 and nearly killed myself doing it, I now am desperate to raise as much money as I can for the charity that I ran for.

I would like to try and raise as much as I can for Barnado's, as I believe they are doing wonderful things for the children of London and all over the UK. Please dig deep and help them out.

The run was truely amazing and I really did enjoy it, but my goodness me, was it hard work! Having now finished my first 13.1 miles, I am crazily keen to go for the full marathon as well.

The past 3 days I have not been able to walk and my whole body feels like it has been hit by a train!

I got round in just over 2 hours and came 8457 out of 14,000. My training programme was pretty minimal, so was very happy with my result!
