Thank you very much for all of your support. I ran the marathon in 4:38, I feel broken and my feet are covered in blisters but I would do it all again tomorrow to raise money for this amazing charity and it was all down to you guys, my friends and family. xx

Wow, only 9 weeks to go!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, and this is my story.

On the 19th of April 2010 my nephew Henry Camble died of Meningitis in St Thomas hospital London, he was an amazing boy and sadly left behind many people who loved him. 

Henry was such a happy boy who was very mischievous, when he came to my house we would play hide and seek and ten pin bowling in our hallway.  He was also very keen at getting involved with any ball games Tyler (his brother) and i would play, which was great as he was always happy to go in goal. 

I decided to run the Virgin London Marathon in memory of Henry and raise loads of urgent money needed which goes towards research with the potential to prevent Meningitis and Septicaemia.

Thank you so much for looking at my page and any money you can pledge would be gratefully received .
