The aim: complete the London Marathon 2011. The challenge: raise £1500 for the Family Holiday Association. The question: are you crazy??

Apparently the answer is yes as I have decided to run the London Marathon in April 2011. My goal is to try and break the 5 hour mark and to still be breathing at the end! I'm also raising money for the Family Holiday Association who provide a wonderful charity service for families who cannot afford to take a holiday and pay for them to take a break from it all. See here for more information: http://www.fhaonline.org.uk/singlePage.php?id=2&mpid=4

I've been so incredibly lucky to be able to travel to some amazing places over the last few years and also just taking time off to escape the stress of work which a lot of people just don't have the opportunity to do. So, by sponsoring me to run a ridiculously long way (which you can feel free to laugh and mock as I train through a devilishly cold winter) you can also help create some wonderful memories and holidays for families out there who really need a break.

Thank you for your support, I'm going to need it! :)
