Virgin London Marathon 2010

 

I know, I know - I must be mad! But for the last 5 years I've been failing to get into the London Marathon, but this is my year! I've finally been accepted to run the 2010 London Marathon, and I could not think of a better charity to run for than Diabetes UK.

I'm running for my dad who has been living with Type 2 diabetes for many a moon now, so I could not think of a charity that was as close to home than this!

So hopefully i'll be able to both raise awareness of Diabetes and and also raise them some money, so dig deep, tick the Gift Aid box and remember - it's tax deductable ;-)

Cheers, I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.

Well, finally able to walk again - my legs started to cramp around mile 18 of the London Marathon so my sub 4 hour timings went right out of the window and the mission was just to complete the race in as little pain as possible! In the end managed the course in 4:44.23 - not what i wanted but felt a great sense of achievement - and if you were out there on the course, thanks for the cheering! So thanks to everyone that donated and supported me - same time next year?
