This year, feeling passionate about cancer charities, and even more so for children who don’t necessarily get a chance to live their lives like other children, I thought I’d run for CLIC Sargent.

I found a contact in Dan Powell, community fundraising manager.

Dan’s support has been brilliant. Although I’m not yet happy with my fundraising current total, he thinks it’s great He’s commented on my blog and is probably reading this now (Hi Dan!).  Dan’s been very supportive, and it makes me think I’d always race for CLIC Sargent now, also cos I love their vest

Dan’s also going to be there Sunday, and is very generously giving me a wrist band (usually for bond places where people take a charity place and guarantee they will raise a set amount), so I can go to Charity Village! I’m not sure exactly what’s there but it’s a place where only the chosen few can go

Thank you OH for designing my name label and making it fit to my vest. Thanks also for ensuring I continue my training and for encouraging my madness in entering my first (and last!) marathon.

So just 30 mins run last night (tapering), and 20 mins tomorrow.. then… THE BIG DAY. Right now I don’t feel like I could run 26minutes, let alone 26miles, but I think this is the effect of tapering. It feels like ages since I did a long run!

Thanks everyone so far for your sponsorship. Everyone else… give us your pennies:
