For my first marathon I have decided to take part in one that is not normally recommended for beginners - the Potteries marathon on Sunday 5th July 2015. It is 11 years since the Potteries marathon last took place in Stoke-on-Trent and this year it will make it's return so I have decided to attack it head on.
I have chosen the Railway Children charity as it helps children who live in poverty across the UK and India - the birth country of my family. This is a small charity and any monies raised will make a big difference. Their web page is http://www.railwaychildren.org.uk/. Having helped 126,000 in the last 5 years this charities work is invaluable.
