Myself and my lovely friend Sarah Barrow are taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2013.

We are running to raise as much money as possible for the Joanne Hamilton Tribute Fund for Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland, because as most of you will know my beautiful mum passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly on 21st Febuary 2012. 

It has been the most horrendous year for me and the rest of the family trying to cope with this immeasurable loss, and is something which we will never really come to terms with. Training for the half marathon and having something to focus on is helping me to get through each day, as well as getting my bum off the sofa!!

My mum was the most incredible, beautiful, intelligent woman and I want to continue to make her proud every day. Running the half marathon is a huge challenge, and raising money for CHSS in memory of my mum is extremely important to me. Especially as it was a charity very close to her heart.

Those of you who know me will know that running the Edinburgh Half Marathon will be no mean feat. I am starting off from ZERO fitness, and with the help of Sarah am aiming to complete the half marathon without keeling over!!

I'll be running the half marathon on the 26th of May 2013 and Sarah will be running the full marathon on the same day to help me raise as much money as possible!! So please please donate to this great cause, no matter how little!
