Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So...12 months after swearing I would never, ever, ever, ever run a marathon again - I'm running the Edinburgh Marathon! This year I've decided to raise money for http://www.differentstrokes.co.uk/, an organisation which helps with the rehabilitation of young stroke survivors. This was suggested by my cousin and she should know, since she herself is a young stroke survivor.

Another reason I'm doing this is that last year I finished 8 minutes over my target time of 3.5 hours - and that's annoyed me ever since! So here's some extra motivation for me: Provided I stay fit and injury-free, I will personally donate £10 for ever minute I am over 3.5 hours. Hopefully I won't regret this!

Thanks for reading
