Thanks for visiting (and hopefully donating)!

As many of you will know, I vowed never to run another marathon after the lumpy one in Windermere last year. But I've recently being given the chance to run the London and I didn't want to pass on the opportunity to run it just once rather than looking wistfully on as others run / walk / dance / crawl by. So for this London Marathon I'll be needing support rather than giving it.And talking of support, the other big reason for running the London Marathon is the charity I'll be running for.

Carers UK campaign for the recognition of the true value of carers’ contribution to society - fighting for carers to get the practical, financial and emotional support they need when supporting family, friends and neighbours. Personally, this resonates with me as I've come to understand the importance of the the care and love my mum provided to my grandmother over many years - often in very trying and stressful circumstances. Only now do I know how hard this must have been - so this marathon run is dedicated to Mum - love you loads!

I've targeted one thousand smackers, so please dig as deep as you can. All donations will be most gratefully received!

Thanks everyone!
