On the 20th June 2009 I am running in the Midnight Sun Marathon in the Arctic city of Tromsø in Norway with Cameron signing up as support crew (without his knowledge at first). This will be my first marathon and the Stroke Association is a cause close to my heart, which I am glad to be fundraising for.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Stroke Association gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Your sponsorship is greatly appreciated and will hopefully spur me on when the realities of runnning my first ever marathon kick in.

Many thanks, Kate.
