Having completed the 2010 London Marathon I tried to enter again this year but was unsuccessful in the ballot - so Tracey convinced me that a trip to Edinburgh was in order! Not being one to duck too many challenges, I have accepted and will aim to beat my 4hrs 48mins from last time and finish Edinburgh intact!

I do understand many of you will remember my 'never again' promise but any support you can offer in support of Myeloma UK, the cancer which sadly took my dad, would be gratefully received.

So please dig deep and donate now.
