I will be running in this year’s Virgin London Marathon on Sunday April 21 for The Children’s Trust.

The trust is a national charity that provides specialist care for some of the UK’s most severely disabled children, and rehabilitation to children with an acquired brain injury. I would like to extend a special invitation to runners who have secured a place in the marathon but have yet to decide on a worthy cause to support, to join me and be part of the trust’s team.

Being part of a team offers a great way to enjoy the world- famous running event, with lots of enthusiastic supporters cheering you along the route at four ‘‘cheering’’ sites. There will also be a warm welcome at the finish, with physiotherapists on hand to massage weary legs. You will also be able to relax at a nearby venue with your family and friends and enjoy food and refreshments.
