Overview

Welcome everyone to my marathon blog! On Monday 20th October 2008 I was accepted into the 2009 Flora London Marathon with the goal of raising as much money as possible for the Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre.

MS is something that is very close to me as my mum has suffered  from the condition for the past 20+ years and I have seen first hand how cruel it can be.  Running the London Marathon was my mums ultimate dream but unfortunately her MS hasn't made that possible (still not sure she would of anyway though, it was always next year!!)

Through determination and the help she has received along the way my mum is still walking and looking after her Grand Children so I hope by raising money for MSRC we can help others receive that same support

I intend to use this website over the next 6 long months to take you with me on my training leading up to the big day. I hope you enjoy it and you support me and donate whatever you can along the way

Please visit my sponsorship site and donate whatever you can

It was quite a day wasn't it! I know what you mean about not wanting to be beaten by a fancy dress runner. I was determined to beat the guy dressed as a running shoe - but he really was quick considering the handicap. Got past him in the last mile though. And I left Freddie Mercury behind (including the large microphone and stand!). Still waiting for my photos!

if only all the good races weren't on the same day! Would have loved to have done Silverstone if it wasn't for a clash with the Hastings Half, bet it was a great atmosphere. Well done on a great time!
