[p]No marathon in London this year, no worries! [/p][p]After the 2.6 challenge in April, the latest wheeze from the organisers is a virtual marathon on 4th October. After a summer of not training, there was no realistic prospect of running. So, I'm planning to walk the distance, from Milton Keynes to home in Podington. How hard can it be?[/p][p]Your support for this year of not quite running the marathon in London is amazing - thanks so much. Read below for more about this charity and why it's important to me.[/p][p]We are Northampton Mencap. We provide a social centre for people with learning disabilities to meet, interact and develop.
