Heyyy!! Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have entered the 2010 EDF Energy Birmingham Half Marathon

In January 2009 my sister was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia aged 13. I don't think I could quite possibly find the words to describe in this "story" how hard it was to watch my little sister fight her way through cancer. After a year of aggressive treatments including chemotherapy, radiotherapy and finally a stem cell (bone marrow) transplant, thanks to the wonderful doctors and nurses at Birmingham Childrens Hospital, my beautiful sister is now 10 months all clear.

The charity I am donating my sponsorship to is to 'Cure Leukemia', based at the University Hospital in Birmingham. The money they recieve is used to help research on finding a CURE for the disease, so more and more cancer sufferers lives will be saved. For more information on this have a look at the website:

If you know me you well, you will be laughing at the idea of THIRTEEN MILES. I love my junk food, maccies and chips far far too much, and I'm constantly out drinking with friends - I don't think I can run a mile without stopping and gasping for breath!!

My goal is to complete the course in 1 hour 45 mintutes... This is going to be one hell of a challenge!
