Hi,

I'm attempting to run the London Marathon on April 21st this year to raise some money for the Fire Fighter's Charity who as most of you know have helped me many times over the years : )

I know its late notice but I wanted to leave it till now just to make sure I actually had a good chance of making the start line (I've had previous of getting injured during training for marathons). As it stands, after a 21 mile training run over the South Downs recently, the signs look good.

The Fire Fighters Charity offers specialist lifelong health & wellbeing support for the UK fire & rescue community, empowering individuals and families to achieve mental, physical and social wellbeing throughout their lives. This includes serving and retired firefighters alike.

I would like to show my appreciation for the amazing work they do by raising a little money to put into their coffers.

I honestly know just how tough things are at to moment for everyone and even if its a £1 donation it would mean so much to me and all my colleagues in the the UK Fire & Rescue Service.

Thank You x
