Hello! As most people know………. (I've been banging on about it enough!!!) I'm running the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday 26th May. Am I scared?! Hell yes. Hopefully I'll make it but 26 miles is a loooooong way!! Hopefully the hours spent running up and down the River Lea will pay off! I'm even giving up booze for a month...that in itself deserves sponsorship :-)

I'm raising money for Greenpeace as they do so many amazing things to help protect this wonderful world we live in and it’s a cause I really believe in.

Greenpeace has played a pivotal role in, amongst other things: the adoption of a ban on toxic waste exports to less developed countries; a moratorium on commercial whaling; a United Nations convention providing for better management of world fisheries; a Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary; a 50-year moratorium on mineral exploitation in Antarctica; bans on the dumping of radioactive and industrial waste and disused oil installations at sea; an end to large-scale driftnet fishing on the high-seas; the adoption of the Kyoto protocol; and a ban on all nuclear weapons testing.

Just recently Greenpeace campaigned throughout Europe for a ban on bee pesticides. Thanks to them the majority of Europe voted for the ban and it's the world's first continent-wide ban on these chemicals. Imagine a world without bees…….

So please sponsor me if you can, it will be hugely appreciated and will go towards making the world a better place to live for us and future generations J

Thanks so much.
