I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on 9th October, 2011 with Louise Bennett and we're raising money for Practical Action.

I am not a natural runner and this is my first race!  However, I like a challenge and training has begun!  I ache but am delighted with progress.  Please, please sponsor me to run the Royal Parks Half Marathon, your money goes to an inspirational charity and I really, really appreciate your support.

You can visit my blog here - http://royalparkshalf.blogspot.com - and follow every step of training and preparation for the race day. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
