I am running the London Marathon for Keech Cottage , a children's hospice on April 13th 2008. Keech Cottage is a charity that means a lot to me as they provided care for Nicola, my 10 year old cousin who passed away in February 2007 from a rare blood clotting disorder. They have since provided support for my family and Nicola's twin sister Rebecca and I wanted to give something back.

I am not a natural runner and this for me is a real challenge, but it is all worth it to raise money for Keech Cottage and to make my cousin proud. Keech Cottage costs £4 million a year to provide the children with the care and comfort that they need and they only get 25% from the Government, so rely a lot on charity. Please dig deep and sponsor me, because it might just help me make it to the finish line!!

I ran a half marathon a few weeks ago in 2 hours and 10 mins which I was quite chuffed, but doing that twice over is going to be tough! I realy appreciate anything that you can donate because it all helps.

See you at the finish line!

Sarah :)
