Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Can I just say I HATE running I find it boring, I ache for days afterwards and my feet end up a complete mess!! I only run if I’m chasing or being chased!! But I have always liked to challenge myself and to compete in the London Marathon is definitely the hardest one yet. I've always wanted to run in the marathon but never did anything about it until this year. A day before entries closed I put in my application thinking that you have enter 2-3 times before you get in.  Well to my surprise I got a letter in September saying congratulations you’ve been accepted. Well I didn't expect that!!  

So on the 13th April 2014 I will drag myself round the streets of London in aid of a really great charity Meningitis Now.  Meningitis can affect anyone it can strike quickly and kill in hours. Babies and young children are the most at risk with about half of all cases occurring in under 5s. Risk increases again for teenagers and young adults. Despite vaccines being available for some types of meningitis, there are still thousands of cases in the UK every year.

Meningitis Now offer practical, emotional and financial support for all those living with the impact of the disease. They support individuals and their families, including those who have been bereaved, helping to rebuild lives after meningitis and septicemia.

I really wanted to use this opportunity I have been given to raise some much needed money for a charity for children as I have two and I know lots of my friends and family do to.

I gratefully ask for you to sponsor and support me undertaking this challenge.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
