***Update - 7 September 2010***

Unfortunately I am injured and left with no choice but to pull out of the marathon. Fairly devastated but have deferred my place to next year's run. Thank you for your support.

I'm running Berlin marathon this September, to raise money for the lifeboats. That's 26.2 whole miles... gulp.

I decided to run for the RNLI because I've always been in awe of the lifeboats, and the bravery and courage of men and women who risk their lives in extreme conditions at sea (and inshore) to save others.

Please sponsor me to run the marathon. Every little helps. I'm training hard!

I'll be running in a bright yellow lifeboats vest which I will wear with pride during the marathon, and when the going gets tough I'll think of all the people that have supported me, and the difference your sponsorship and my running will make.

Many thanks, Soph x
