I'm running the London Marathon to fundraise for Make A Wish!

I ran the London Marathon 2014 in April to raise money for Women's Aid (www.womensaid.org.uk) and because of shin splints and generally being a massive amateur at long distance running, I wanted the chance to run it again to improve my time and I was lucky enough to get a place on the ballot for the Virgin Money London Marathon 2015 on Sunday April 26th! It's great to have a charity to run for, for an event like this, not just for motivation, but because raising funds and awareness of such a great cause is incredibly valuable.
Make A Wish Foundation UK (www.make-a-wish.org.uk) grant wishes and magical memories to desperately ill children and their families, at a time when they need them most and I couldn’t imagine a charity more deserving than one that provides smiles for children who are braving life changing conditions every day.
I'm running for Make A Wish with Sven and we have a total fundraising target of £3,000 so any donations will be much appreciated. Please support me at: www.justgiving.com/runforwishes or by texting RRSB52 £5 to 70070
Thank you and wish me luck!!
