Were you successful in the ballot for the 2013 London Marathon? Have you just signed up for the British 10K or the London Triathlon? If so, we want to hear from you.

In April this year, Sophie Walker completed the London Marathon and raised £4,000 for the National Autistic Society to raise awareness of Asperger's Syndrome. Running the Marathon for this cause was hugely significant for Sophie as her daughter Grace was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome as a young child.

In her book Grace Under Pressure, Sophie shares the daily highs and lows of raising a child with Aspergers and the challenge of becoming a long-distance runner. Described by Sophie as a love letter to her daughter, this moving a hugely inspirational memoir shows that strength can be found – and in unexpected places.

COMPETITION

We've been hugely inspired by Sophie's achievement (and in awe of the fact that she ran the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon on Sunday) and we'd really love to hear about the things you are doing to raise money for good causes.

Share your story in the comments box below and we'll select three people at random to receive a free copy of Grace Under Pressure.

I am part of a team looking to raise £20,000 for MacMillan Cancer Support. I am doing this through my workplace – many cakes and coffee have been baked, eaten and drank. We are currently doing a trade-up activity in teams where you start with a MacMillan pin badge and try to trade up to something bigger – we are currently up to a new Nintendo Wii, 6 bottles of wine and two bottles of champagne!
