Dear All, 

Well i did it...I had been having to rest my knee and calf as had issues and i was strapped up and we did a great pace, it all started to hurt past 11 miles as that was the furthest we had run so were expecting it...11.5 miles my knee gave me problems so struggled for a mile then got the pace back for the final bit...managed a great 2 hrs 7 mins and 22 secs, only 2 mins slower than 3 years ago, happy with that and a great total off to Cancer Research UK which is one of the main reasons I continue to do these challenges!! 

Thank you sooooo much to everyone for supporting me and to officially announce that I WILL be competing in the LONDON MARATHON 2013!!! now the fun begins!!! 

Loads of love and thanks for helping me make a difference.

Hello friends,

Well another year another challenge! Many of you will know that every two years I do a really big challenge to test me and strive to raise as much as I can for Cancer Research UK. This year is not the normal race for life but an intermediate size challenge as a tester for another biggie next year.

On Sunday 24th June I will be competing in the Torbay Half Marathon running 13.1 miles all for CRUK. Its been tough training this year with working 7 days most weeks and away on events every weekend but as always, sheer stubboness and bloodymindedness will see me pounding the streets after work to get the training in.

I have had an amazing donation from my most wonderful team of loyal supporters, Sarah and the Welsh Wizards from Barry who raised a whopping £4047.32 for me this year and have started me off soooo well.

So please, please, dig deep and help this wonderful charity fund the research that is so needed to aid our loved ones path to battling and surviving this dreadful disease.

As always I run in memory of dear family lost to Cancer and those bravely battling it also.

Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you all
