Story

Now running my VLM in April 2016 ... 

Okay, so a while back, I made a promise to Alice that I would accept every single challenge that came my way. Each year, the London Marathon emails arrive and each year, I apply and fail to secure a place. Last year, however, a different kind of magazine dropped through the door ... a "You're In" magazine.  The shaking has stopped and the reality is set in, but unfortunately a heel injury prevented me from taking part and I had to defer my place to 2016. So, down but definitely not out.  

So, I'm now on the six-month count down and have so far started with walking a brisk four-miles daily so as to avoid the injury I gained last year (from silly running club pushing ahead too quickly). Please sponsor me in Alice's name to finish this bloody thing. Thankfully, I have sack loads of GRIT COURAGE DETERMINATION and London doesn't have as many mountains as I'm accustomed to ;) 

Any amount is welcomed and everything will go directly to the charity that is both my life and my girl's legacy. 

Thanks, love (the slightly mad) Vicky x
