So 3 years ago whilst watching the 2014 London Marathon, I vowed to one day run the Marathon and thought it would take 3 years to train properly for it. But 2 years in, with no training and one failed Bath half marathon in 2015 (due to unforseen circumstances), I have signed up for the 2017 London Virgin Marathon!

I'm running for my favourite charity NSPCC which you've probably heard me bang on about in one way or another. The charity are behind some of the amazing work done to help protect our children including 'The Underwear' rule, early intervention services, children in care services, lots of other services & Childline. 

Childline is a free 24 hour confidential counselling service for children up to the until their late teens in the UK. They can ring about all sorts of issues ranging from sexual abuse to family illness to self esteem issues. A child in the UK rings Childline EVERY 25 SECONDS! And unfortunately, only 3 out of 4 calls are currently answered.

That's why I ask everyone to dig deep because we should be supporting a charity that offers so much! Luckily, I have never had to rely on the NSPCC but so many children do. My target is £2,200 but every little bit counts so anything you can donate will be greatly appreciated!
