    NEW YORK MARATHON MADNESS!!!!!

    Hi

    In a moment of utter madness, I have decided to run the New York Marathon in November this year

    Having lost over 13 stone and kept it off for the last year, I decided that I needed a new challenge and wanted to do something to raise money for Breast Cancer Care........running 26 miles seemed like a good way of doing this!!

    Having never run before it will be a total challenge and is already giving me nightmares already! So..... I've put down my vodka bottle, bought some fab running shoes (any excuse to buy new shoes) and I've started training......and I'm actually enjoing it

    So, if anyone would like to sponsor me - I have a justgiving website:

    Justgiving - Jemma Smart's Fundraising Page

    Thanks in advance

    Jem xx

    well done Gem, good luck with it, I'm sure you will enjoy it enormously and raise lots for a very deserving charity too.
