London marathon - Breakthrough Breast Cancer
Hi, thanks for visiting my page. Last year we raised almost £3500 for the NSPCC and this year, I'm running for Breakthrough Breast Cancer. This is a wonderful charity and cancer touches so many of our lives. With your support, we can help it to touch less lives and for more people to survive and thrive.
This year I am doing a mad challenge of running 3 marathons in 2 months - Cyprus (28 Feb), Brighton (18 April) and London (25 April). I will really struggle to make it around London only a week after Brighton but will do it to raise money for this amazing cause. I have worked out that I will end up running over 700 miles in training and races before crossing the finish line on 25 April. Please help me to make the blisters and pain worthwhile!
You can follow my training on Twitter - see http://twitter.com/alisonrivers

Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
