Personal message

Challenge is the word because three years ago, I couldn't even run around the block!

As most of you know, I am currently training to run the London Marathon on Sunday 17th April 2011.  In my wildest dreams, I could never have imagined running in this race as I watched it on TV and supported family and friends running while I lived in the UK.

But here I am embarking on my first (and possibly last!) marathon and participating in a race which is the single biggest charity fund raising event in the world.  So what a fantastic opportunity to help a wonderful charity like Starfish make a difference to the lives of children in South Africa orphaned by HIV/AIDS.

Please show your support by sponsoring me - any amount will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Jacqui x
