Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

I am not really a runner, but have decided to challenge myself to run a Marathon whilst I still can, whilst I have no injuries, and whilst I am still young enough too :) I entered 2 years ago, but had to stop training at 9 miles under Physio advice due to pain in my leg. This year I am up to 17 miles in training...but it doesn't get any easier!

My work will match all donations, up to a total of £200!!
