I've been incredibly fortunate to receive a place for the London Marathon through my running club & it's therefore a privilege to be able to raise money for Cancer Research UK and the fantastic work they do

Why run a marathon?

...well it's quicker than walking. Actually I ran my 1st marathon (in Liverpool) to prove a point & hated it - I've never been in so much pain. I ran a second marathon (in Chester) telling my friends I just wanted to enjoy it, but that turned out to be a lie as I missed the time I was after by a minute and was gutted. I ran a third marathon (back in Liverpool, a week later) completely against my better judgement, loved it and got a great time. London is a perfect excuse to train harder, run faster and raise some money
