Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.I am running the marathon in memory of Ivan Gardner, a very special man who sadly passed away 2 years ago. I am doing this for his immediate family, my very best friend Gemma and for Gilly & Amy. I want to raise as much money as I can to support his charity.

I have already started training, my training programme began on 1st October 2013. My programme is a combination of attending British Military Fitness Sessions 3 x a week & going for a long run x 1 a week in Bushy Park & attending The Athletic Edge Gym, an excellent strength & conditioning gym in Hampton Wick x 1 a week.

Some of you who know me remember I took part in the Virgin London Marathon 2012. I vowed 'never again' as I crossed the line in a gruelling long time of 6 hours 1 minute. However, The Clouds of Hope charity is certainly a great motivator to run the marathon again and to run in Ivan's memory is the ultimate motivation.

Please help me to reach my target of £1,000 and I promise to stick to the training programme and smash my poor 2012 time. Thank you xx
