It'll have to be 2010...

Claire's hopes of competing in the 2009 London Marathon were dashed recently when she received news that she has not been successful in the ballot. Having decided not to run for charity in 2009, there is no other option available. However, Claire still has her sights on running the 2010 New York Marathon for which she'll be raising money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation - who specifically contribute to Type 1 research.

Maybe 2009 !!

Claire has applied for the 2009 London Marathon! She couldn't wait for the 2010 New York having visited this year's London event as a spectator. I might have guessed that she'd be up for another crack at it before her previously intended date. If she is accepted then she'll run for her own 'enjoyment' rather than for charity this time. There are only so many times you can ask people to donate. Perhaps New York will be a charity run.

Watch this space to see if she gains her place later this year.
