24 Hours to Go

I am so excited about running the London Marathon,i have 24 hours to go and the excitement is just getting bigger and bigger! I can't sleep!

This is my first marathon and i have been training quite hard, but as we all know, life always gets in the way of best laid plans. Kids, trips, business, new practices.......all great things but all distracting me from some of the early morning runs!

The day will be hot tomorrow, so lots of water and lucozade sport, but i hope to set a good time, but most importantly, i want to enjoy the big day with the 30,000 other runners! Amazing 30,000 runners running 26.2 miles across London!

My inspiration to run is my little daughter Aashima - whom, along with her brother, Parus, are my driving force in life. My aim in life is to inspire my children to do some great things in the world - i hope this will inspire them one day to help others too! As that is what matters, not what you have, but how we can help others!

I am raising money for the British Heart Foundation, i would love you to contribute if you have not already, and if you have a MASSIVE thank you!

I have almost raised £5000 making me the second biggest fundraiser online for the 2010 London Marathon for the British Heart Foundation so far - just behind the man doing the marathon in the armoured suit! But more would always be welcome!

Lots of Love
