I have to admit it, I can be a running bore from time to time, so apologies in advance to my friends and family who will have to put up with my running chat for a bit longer, as I train for the Brighton Marathon. I will however be running very proudly for the Brain Tumour Charity, who fund scientific and clinical research into this disease and help and support those affected by it. 

I'd be really grateful for any sponsorship and support (including motivational quotes) to help me get ready for the longest run of my life. I've already paid the entry fee so all donations go directly to the charity.
