Story

**Update**

2 Weeks to go!!! Aggghhhh! Help Me! 

Well it wasn't a great start, illness prevented any training so after a very 'dizzy' few months I'm feeling much better and I've been managing to put in as many miles in as possible. I ran the furthest distance I've ever run last weekend, 18 miles and hobbled a further 6 after straining the bottom of my foot, fortunately nothing too serious! Another week of jogging to work and back (if my knees hold up) and I should be ready to have a nice weeks rest before the big day. I never thought it'd be so hard but I'm now realising the full challenge ahead. Lets hope all the work I put in over last year will carry me over the line.

Thank you all so much for donating, I really appreciate it and will try to show that by put in a good time for you... but don't be surprised if this is how I make it over the line...

As Chris Akabusi used to say.... AWOOOOOOOOOOOGA!!!


Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Well as some of you already know I'm planning on running this years London Marathon!  Why!!?? I've never been much of a runner, never have and never will be but think I've got better at it in the past year (although training has been a bit hit and miss after Christmas!). I'm working on that. 


Anyhow this gives me the opportunity to do something good for charity and I'd really appreciate it if you could help me donate towards SANDS (Stillbirth & Neonatal Death Charity). They are a UK charity providing support for bereaved parents and their families. Sadly, this has effected my family last year. So I'd like to raise awareness for this charity and also to remember my little cousin, who could only stay with us for two short days, Mathew Malachi Murphy-Gibb. 


I'll keep this updated so you can see how i'm getting on, the more money I raise the more I run! I'll see you at the finishing line. 


Thank you!
