On Sunday 24th April I'm attempting to run (yes run) the London Marathon.

It all started back in May when I entered the ballot never thinking for one minute I would be successful and get a place  and running the marathon was never on my bucket list, but somehow I was picked and here I am.

I thought long and hard about who to run for and felt like a I really wanted to make a difference to someone, so I have chosen the Magical Taxi Tours.

They are quite a small unknown charity but every September they do something totally amazing by organising a 3 day trip of a lifetime to Disneyland Paris for children with life threatening illnesses. This amazing convoy, can be over three miles long when running and consists of 90 plus taxis, City of London Police escorts, Gendarmerie Nationale, London Ambulance NHS Trust vehicles and AA breakdown trucks.

In September 2007 our son Louis was lucky enough to be part of the trip and has amazing memories of his trip and is still in touch with Alan the taxi driver.

It costs  £1,400 per taxi to meet the expenses of hotel, fuel, food, admission charges etc. The taxi drivers naturally give freely of their time and use of their vehicles.

So it would be totally amazing if I could give a little bit a magic to another child and help them make some amazing memories.
