thanks everybody for your support with this challenge x

today I ran 22 miles during a training run. It was incredibly tough but i made it :-)

Well call me crazy but for my 2014 challenge to raise funds for St. Catherine's Hospice I am running a Marathon. Last year I did the Liverpool half marathon so the only natural progression for a running challenge has to be the Liverpool full marathon this year.

Training has commenced and my short legs have been pounding the streets getting ready for a severe punishing over 26 miles. It's gonna be a pure test of physical and mental endurance but the motivation for me is having your sponsorship to raise vital funds for St. Catherine's. The memory of my mum and her strength and courage will also carry me round.

Any donation big or small all goes a long way to providing care and support to patients and families when they need it most.

Thanks for your support
