Welcome to my blog, this is my first post.
If you are looking for tips on how to run a marathon - you've come to the wrong place. I am not your traditional runner but I wanted to do something to raise funds for my favourite charity Tenovus and challenge myself and made the decision that this was it!
Many people have questioned my decision to run - as after a car accident a number of years ago I was told I would never walk again. However, I am now pretty much recovered apart from a few aches and pains and compared to what some people are going through fighting cancer, I have absolutely nothing to complain about!
For you football fans out there, I'm probably the Ledley King of running - not great on the training due to my dodgy joints but hopefully will come good on the big matches!
It's now 5 weeks to go - so hopefully you will wish me luck and sponsor Fran and I - every penny counts.
Thanks

About Me
- Hayley Grigor
- Why run the marathon? Very simply, I wanted to do something in memory of my Grandpa, who died 10 years ago. He was 80-years-old and had started off with prostrate cancer, which spread to his bones and within six months he was dead. In addition, my Aunt had breast cancer and has been in remission for many years now thanks to the breakthroughs in treatment and our understanding of how to tackle this illness.
When you look at the stats they are frightening and ultimately, like many people I am sick of seeing cancer affecting the people I love and care about and if running/completing 26.2 miles in a marathon can raise funds to fight cancer then I’m up for the challenge!
I hope you can support us in our marathon challenge – thanks for checking out our site.
