As you know this is my 2nd London marathon (I ran it in 3.52 last year). In October last year I came 3rd woman overall in the Dulwich 10k and a week later went on to run a 10 mile race in 67 mins (coming 15th woman overall - see pic!). In Feb 2006 I ran the Watford half marathon in 1.31 so Im on course for a sub 3.30 Marathon time!

Please dig deep and sponsor me for the Hertfordshire Community Foundation; this is the most efficient way for me to raise money and every penny helps. The charity manages grants to local charities; recently over £20k was given to a Childrens Fund for disadvantaged kids and over £10k to the charity Mind. To see more detail of their work please visit:  www.hertscf.org.uk.

If you are a UK tax payer your donation will be increased by almost a third at no extra cost to you. Many thanks for your support!
