I am not a runner. I suck at it and get red and sweaty as fiery hell...but you know me, I do like a challenge. 

I decided I would sign myself up for a marathon after barely surviving a mile long run (did you know a mile is like really far??) so I've put my name down for London 2017. I won't find out if I have the place until next month but In the meantime I have optimistically entered into the Bournemouth Half Marathon. 

If you would like to sponsor me in my attempt run 13 miles then that would be just swell. I am running for Restored which is a local charity that supports people suffering and recovering from eating disorders. I volunteer at the group support meetings each week and I can confirm that they do excellent work and are chronically underfunded. Eating problems are very common and can cause misery and suffering to those directly and indirectly affected. With the right support these issues can be managed, overcome and sometimes even beaten to a bloody pulp. *high fives* 

I will certainly be asking every Tom, Dick and Harriet for sponsorship for the marathon too if I do get a place next year, but just in case I don't and even if i do because 13 miles is FAR; if you have a couple of quids or even just one, and you feel so inclined, chuck your virtual monies in this virtual monies bucket. Thanks :)
