Well, you've made it this far, so somehow you may well know a little something about what this is all about. If not however, and you have accidentally stumbled on the blog, welcome along.
Hopefully over the next six months, you will continue to follow this page, along with the facebook page, twitter feed and charity fundraising page leading up to me embarking on trying to run the Virgin London Marathon on the 21st April 2013.
It's been set up in an attempt to raise as much money as possible for the Together We Can charity with the funds being put to the Evelina Children's Hospital at St Thomas's in Central London.
It's not our local hospital, but it is the hospital where our son was transferred to and cared for after suffering from a lack of oxygen as a result of a placenta abruption shortly before birth. Unfortunatley, aged 6 days our son Isaac passed away due to the level of brain damage that he had received. In his short life he was an inspiration, showed such strength and touched so many peoples lives with the help of the brilliant teams that looked after him as St Thomas's. Running the London Marathon will hopefully enable me to raise funds for the hospital so that they can continue their pioneering treatment and hopefully have happier outcomes for babies in conditions similar to that that Isaac was in.
Over the coming months, I will hopefully use the different sites that have been set up for this event to tell the story of Isaac's short life, to try and show just how brilliant the teams were that looked after him, and share his strength whilst also talking about the highs and lows of training for my first marathon and the events along the way.
Thanks for reading
