I've always wanted to run the London Marathon, ever since going to watch every year as a young girl with my family. Now I've got my chance, with a charity place running for the amazing charity WaterAid. I'll be turning 40 in 2017, so it seemed an appropriate time to take on this challenge - both the running and raising the £2000.

Who can argue with the human right to be able to drink clean water and have a decent place to go to the toilet? It's shocking that 1 in 3 people in the world still do not have access to clean, safe drinking water. Any donation you can make to help WaterAid transform lives by bringing safe drinking water and toilets to those who need them will be much appreciated.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
