If somebody had asked me to run a marathon at the start of the year, my reply would have been, no way, half marathons are more my distance!!

After some persuasion from my fellow Sunday morning running friends (Rachel, Steph, James, Phil, Chi Chi, Kelley, Helen and Co) and being the only one who hasn’t run a marathon, I decided it was about time I had a go……

I am running for the Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre (MSRC).  This is something very close to my heart as my Mom is a Multiple Sclerosis sufferer.  Over the next few months I am undertaking a number of different activities in the hope of being able to raise the £1500 minimum sponsorship.  

I am starting off fundraising with a raffle.  I will be selling the tickets over the next couple of months.  There are some excellent prizes including a £50 Beaverbrooks Jewellery voucher, a round of golf for four people at North Worcestershire Golf Club, a Cadbury's luxury chocolate hamper and many other fantastic prizes.  If anyone would like to buy any tickets then please see me at club. 

I am also having a “packing the shopping day” at Sainsbury’s in Northfield on Saturday 1st November.  If anybody can offer a spare few hours to help then that would be really appreciated.  In addition, I have a website if anybody would like to donate:

Many thanks to everyone in advance.  Your support is very much appreciated.
