Story

Hi Guys on 23 May 2010 I will be running the Edinburgh marathon! Whilst training and aiming for a time of four hours I have decided to run this event for charity. The charity I have chosen to run for is Leeds Mencap who work with disabled kids and their parents and do a fantastic job without any form of government funding and rely solely on donations and fundraising. The reason I have chosen to support this charity is that my fiance's brother is autistic and this has given me some insight as to what it is like to have a disabled child in the family and how worthwhile this charity is.

I will be paying for all my travel and accomodation expenses myself so every single penny raised will be going to the charity. I hope you can help so please dig deep and donate now!
