Unfortunately I am no longer running the marathon to raise money for Age UK, as the company I work for were unable to match the sponsorship I raise on my own, and I didn't feel it was realistic to raise £1,800 on my own.
However, I'm now really pleased to be running to raise vital funds for St Catherine's Hospice in Crawley.
St Catherine's Hospice is a charity dedicated to providing specialist end of life care to local people and their families.
I'll be visiting the hospice in January and am looking forward to seeing some of the great work they carry out.

A really worthy cause
I’m running the marathon as part of team Run For It, working to raise money for YouthNet and AgeUK.
I work with Age UK on a daily basis through my day job in financial services marketing, and am therefore aware of the work that they do for people in later life. Each year they help transform the lives of over 5 million people by providing vital support and services and fighting discrimination, poverty and isolation.
Did you know that in the UK today, over 1 million older people have not seen another person in over a month?
YouthNet and Age UK have teamed up with a mission in mind – bringing young and older people together to end loneliness and isolation. Young volunteers are teamed up with older people so they can connect with others as they make the opportunities the web has to offer. As older people learn how to use online tools, they’ll discover how easy it is to keep in touch with their friends, family and local community.
Every mile I run on marathon day will raise money to help prevent 1 million older people in the UK from feeling lonely. We’re all going to be old one day – so please, dig deep.
