Right well I started jogging around September as an attempt to correct the effects that an indulgent year out had had on my body!

In November when one of my best friends dad very sadly passed away I thought I could use this new hobby to do some good and decided to run a marathon and raise money for the British Heart Foundation.

I am in no way underestimating how this is going to destroy me on the day and we are training hard so please, dig deep, support the cause and use this as an excuse to give thanks to BHF for helping Richard and towards them helping others in the future!
