Diane Kennedy – running the London Marathon on behalf of the Shaw Trust

Off message-ish. There are a number of good people who are running in this year’s London Marathon on behalf of excellent charities but on the “principle” that blood is thicker than water I would just like to mention that my first cousin Di will be taking part while supporting the Shaw Trust.

Di had just completed her first ever 20k run in the picture (right).

The Shaw Trust is a national Charity which supports disabled and disadvantaged people to prepare for work, find jobs and live more independently.

Cousin Di has been training really hard for the marathon despite holding down a demanding job while being a super Mum to 4 year James and 20 month toddler twins Emily and Matthew. I put this determination down of course to our shared granite coast Aberdeen genes!

You can sponsor Di and this excellent cause at www.justgiving.com/dianekennedy

I think that the wider Gray family “record” of 4 hours 24 minutes following my appearance in the 2002 London Marathon is finally (and deservedly) under threat!
