My crazy daughter......

... is delighted as she's just heard she'll be running the London Marathon again next year!

She's also been nominated to be an Olympic Torchbearer, and got through the first stage of selection!

This is Rose on the right, with another mad marathon runner!

Rose heard today that she's not been selected. She's disappointed of course but says that being nominated by people who know her meant even more than selection would have done!
