***Update, I completed the marathon with a PB of 3 hours and 49 minutes. Thanks to everyone who donated. I am so grateful and so is everyone at Manchester Mind! :) *****

I am training and running Edinburgh Marathon for Manchester Mind. 

Bruce (my dog) has managed to keep up with most my training runs but managed to lose a claw on the way and has had to bail due to injury. (Not sure it's legal for dogs to run a marathon anyway) I chucked him in the cover photo out of kindness as a consolation prize but I guess I'm going solo this year. 

I've put everything into my training this year, sometimes pushing through snow in the hills of Todmordon! The charity does some fantastic work and I'm honoured to be able to run for them. 

Any donations are welcome, small or large, and I thank anyone who takes the time to read this far. I'm hoping to beat my personal best by about an hour on last year's time and the donations will motivate me through these last couple of weeks of  my training.

DONATE AWAY!
