There are probably so many reasons why I shouldn't attempt to run the London Marathon next year.  A few obvious ones are:

1.  The last time I ran any great distance was at middle school cross-country!

2.  Even at middle school cross-country I was rubbish!

3.  I eat way too much chocolate than is good for me...

4. ...and I am allergic to the gym!

Why then, I here you ask, am I running the London Marathon?  Good question! :

1.  I have lost the one last shred of sanity (I blame this entirely upon my pupils!!!)

2.  An attempt to make up for all the time I should have spent in the gym and not eating chocolate in one go, so I can go back to my previously stated life style...

3. ...But more importantly to raise money for an extremely worth while charity and to achieve something which I ( or anyone I know for that matter!) never thought I would be able to do!

So please please take the time to sponsor me to help raise money to help Whizz-Kidz to better the lives of disabled children and young people in the UK.  If that is not a good enough reason then just sponsor me for the laugh you will be having at my expense in April 2009!

Thankyou in anticipation
