Sunday, April 26th, would have been the day that the 40th London Marathon took place. Due to the bizarre times we now find ourselves in, this event has cancelled and the funding that so many charities rely on to survive has been jeopardised. While I wasn't due to participate, 2 years ago I "ran" (ok, more like barely crawled...) the Newport Marathon and I know how reliant charities are on the fundraising efforts of these types of events.

So, 2 years later, fatter and less fit, I am, once again, going to run 26.2 miles... but this time across 10 days. I haven't set a fundraising target as I know this is an incredibly difficult time for us all - particularly financially (trust me, I'm right there with you!) - but if you would like to donate even £1 to my chosen local charity, The Wallich, I would be so very grateful. Thank you xx
