MSE Archna Marathon Supporters Club

I've decided to start a supporters club for MSE Archna who's running the Marathon this year. She's been working incredibly hard to train and get ready and all at MSE Towers are very proud of her.
Why's she doing it?
You can read her story on her fundraising page. Her brother was very ill with a kidney transplant last year, and she's supporting the charity.
Please show her all the support you can, any donation - even £1 would be great, for those who can afford it.

Watch out for her if you're going to see the Marathon
Sadly, I'll be away. Yet if anyone reading this is going to the marathon and you spot her (she'll have a 'supported by MoneySavingExpert.com' printed on the back of her running shirt). Please give her a cheer.

PS for those of you who don't know. MSE Archna doesn't just do her 'game of the week' in the email. She's my senior consumer issues researcher, doing the analysis on all non-money product moneysaving. Plus she's in charge of organising the content for the weekly email, checking it and making it all go smoothly. Without her the whole thing would go kaput!

Thanks for the support and donation sue-y! Trust me I am not a natural runner and never thought I'd be able to do it either but here I am! (Archie's been my nickname since I've been little too - always confuses people when they expect to see a boy!)0
