Hiya everyone,

Yes im back again begging for your cash - but all in a good cause!!

I know im no Paula Radcliffe (great picture hey!) but im going to do my best to train hard and do the best i can in the london marathon 2009. 

It's my first marathon (and probably my last), and im running every step of the way in memory of my mum and dad who we all love and miss dearly.  They would probably be saying to me how 'barmy' I am doing this, but its for a great cause and every penny will go to Barnsley Hospice, whose work is so underestimated until you need it. 

So come on everyone, its a long way 26 miles!  Help me through my training and through the race by sponsoring me as little or as much as you can - its all appreciated.

Thank you everyone
