I did it! 3 hours 34 minutes and 35 seconds. What an amazing and rewarding achievement. Thank you to everyone for their generosity in helping me raise a wonderful amount of money to help poorly pets.

Lots of cycling this week to keep up the cardiovascular fitness but rest my sore knee. It feels like it's on the mend so hopefully back to running later this week.

A restful day collating my raffle ticket sales so far and thinking ahead to Sunday's 20 mile race. Marathon time fast approaching and I'm getting a little excited! Please keep up your support, the fundraising is looking good so far :-)

Worn out today by a heavy week off strengthening work to help my body cope with the miles. Hoping to do 20 miles on Sunday if the latest cold holds off :-)

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have finally plucked up the courage to enter a marathon after years of running shorter distances. My first marathon will be truely special. I am honoured to be running the London Marathon as a Golden Bond runner for PDSA.

As most of you know I have worked as a vet for PDSA for nearly 3 years. I feel passionately about the difference we make for  sick and injured animals that may otherwise not be presented for veterinary treatment. I want to help put something extra back into PDSA by fundraising for them.

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 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.

Many thanks for your support.
