Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 22 April 2012, I will be running the London Marathon, something I've been wanting to do for years.  Some of you may know that my brother sadly died of a heart attack last year, caused by undetected heart disease, so I'm running in his honour, and to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation. 

Training is going well so far, touch wood - I just about survived 19k in a sandstorm yesterday, but with only 9 weeks to go I have a lot of hard work ahead.  Flights back to London are booked and 'Blotto' has been printed on my vest, so there's no getting out of it now! 

To all the London crew, it would be great to see you there on the day supporting me - I'll need all the cheers I can get - and of course there will be plenty of beers afterwards to celebrate, if I'm still standing! 

Thank you so much for your sponsorship, it means a lot to me and will hopefully help keep me going on the day.
