I've never run a marathon before so have decided I might as well give it a go and am taking part in the Richmond marathon on Sunday 10 September. 

I was originally supposed to run it at the end of last year but the event was cancelled last minute when the Queen died. So, it’s time to train alll over again for this year instead! (All donations for the last event still stand!) 

Last year I trained through some of the hottest days on record and my general lack of co-ordination led to some impressive grazed knees, but I’m going to do it all over again to get across the finish line in one piece - even if I have to crawl across it!

I would hugely appreciate any donations towards The Martin Gallier Project, if anyone is able to support. They are a suicide intervention charity based in Merseyside, doing amazing work around mental health and have helped a friend of mine. 

I'm also going to put together a big playlist to get my through the marathon so would also appreciate song recommendations along with, or in place of, any donations! I promise to add every song suggested to the playlist.
