London Marathon 2013

/

What an emotional day! Such an incredible experience. So many people lined the streets to support all those taking part. It started off with a 30sec silence in memory of those who lost their lives and were injured in Boston. I think everyone knew they were in for an emotional journey.

Having previously ran the Edinburgh marathon in 4hrs and 36mins, I knew it would be tough. But I beat my time and finished in an impressive 4hrs 12mins. 

I want to say a massive thank you to all my friends and family who have been there and supported me over the last 6 months. Without you, I could not have got through it. 

I'd also like to thank everyone who has donated. With a target of £2000 I thought I would find it hard to reach. Everyone dug deep and pulled together and contributed to my Virgin Money Giving page. Once I have collected up the offline sponsorship I will add it all on. My page will be live for a further two months. Feel free to have a look and a read through the reasons for choosing to run on behalf of the MS Society.

Once again, Thank you , Thank you, Thank you!!

19 days to go!!

So the big day is nearly here, I've got less than 3 weeks to hit my target of £2000. They say its been the worst training conditions for the London Marathon in 10 years. But that hasn't stopped me. With one more big run before I taper off all that is left is the fundraising. I'm currently at £1441 with an additional £200 in offline sponsorship. It's all for a brilliant cause.

I am running on behalf of the MS Society, A charity quite close to my heart. In April 2004 my Uncle Hywel died after suffering with MS for a number of years. Hywel was one of five siblings, of which 2 others, My Auntie and Uncle, also have MS. Around 100,000 people in the UK have MS. It affects two million more.

The MS Society offers hope for the future by investing millions in research, and help for today through information, support and campaigning. 

They need all the help they can get, So please dig deep and give what you can. If everyone gave just a few pounds it will make a difference.

Gorgeous George in full swing

Last Thursday saw nearly 100 people descend upon the Sun and 13 Cantons in Soho for some great music from the brilliant Gorgeous George. The night was organised in order to raise money for the MS Society as part of my London Marathon fundraising. And can I just say what a success it was. The turn out was amazing and we all managed to raise £340!! A fantastic achievement. 

I just want to say a massive thank you to all who came down. It truly was a great evening.

Special thanks to Danny Bullman, Louise & Lee Pavey, Everyone who helped with collecting the cash and of course to Gorgeous George. You all did so much.
