Cricket girls get Holmes vote Englands 2009 cricketers are Kelly Holmes pick of 25 years of Sky Sports coverage Last year, I went to the London Marathon to support two friends and I just found the environment, the energy and the atmosphere around it just amazing, Holmes told Sky Sports News HQ. So I combined the challenge of running a marathon with the challenge of running for five charities and raising £250,000. Dame Kelly won two gold medals at the 2004 Athens Olympics I have been trying to blank it out but everyone keeps wishing me good luck for Sunday!Im a bit worried about whether Im eating and drinking enough, its more the whole preparation because I have no idea of what to do. Sally Gunnell sent this message to Dame Kelly Homes ahead of the London Marathon this weekend. But the first thing is to get round. Im under no illusion that it is a long way and it will take a toll on my body. I think I can run under 3hr 30 mins, probably a little quicker, because I have an idea about what my average pace will be.I think I will need to control myself but the thing I am most looking forward to is that finish line.Dame Kelly, who won 800m and 1500m gold at the 2004 Athens Olympics, is raising money for Myeloma UK, Mind UK, Hospice in the Weald and the Pickering Cancer Care charity. Dame Kelly established the Trust in 2008 She is also raising funds for the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust, established in 2008 to help get lives on track by using world class athletes to engage, enable and empower disadvantaged young people.One of the athletes representing the trust is British and European kickboxing champion Ruqsana Begum, who fights Swedens Susanna Salmijarvi for the world title on Saturday.I was fascinated with the work they do with young people who just need a little bit of guidance, Begum told Sky Sports.The Trust run education seminars and workshops using top-class athletes to talk about their journeys in the hope that it inspires youngsters and helps them believe that they too can be successful in life. Kickboxing champion Begum says the Trust has allowed her to give something back I have been blessed to come this far in my career and it is so important to give something back.Kelly is so down-to-earth and so humble and its great that she set up this project because her name brings a lot of awareness and attention to what the charity stands for.Kelly is such an inspiration and was one of my first role models. I remember watching the likes of her and other powerful athletes like Tessa Sanderson as a young girl. They really attracted me to sport in the first place. I know she is going to do the business on Sunday. Also See: SportsWomen Latest Show News Latest News SportsWomen Video http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Chri...kenberg-Jersey/ .

But what about the officials? Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle. Sydney midfield ace Dan Hannebery has called on all sections of the Swans team to help their back six subdue Adelaides potent attack in Saturdays AFL semi-final at the SCG.The Crows, who have kicked more goals than any other team in the competition, have already subjected Sydney to one torrid evening this season.They kicked more goals - 16 - and scored more points - 113 - against Sydney than any other team this year, when they beat the Swans by 10 points at Adelaide Oval back in round four..Hannebery stressed it would be a case of all hands to the defensive pump at the SCG against an Adelaide side coming off a 141-point offensive outburst against North Melbourne.Our defence is going to be like it was on the weekend, put under some serious pressure, Hannebery said, referring to last Saturdays loss to the GWS Giants.Weve got to make sure we support them as a midfield and forward group to try and help them limit the supply to their dangerous forward line..Hannebery was expecting an improved effort against the Crows after admitting GWS were too good for the minor premiers, but was adamant the Giants hadnt caught the Swans off guard in the first all-Sydney AFL finals derby. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Chan...tanzaro-Jersey/. There was a number of areas we didnt play to the standard we hold of ourselves, Hannebery said.We missed a lot of tackles, they made a lot of tacklesWe just didnt maintain our hardness and our intensity for long enough.Looking back we were really disappointed with some of the things throughout the game.We want to try and get that right this week.The AFL has reportedly asked the Swans to outline the procedure they used prior to allowing Josh Kennedy to return from a bout of concussion last Saturday, but Hannbery was adamant his fellow midfielder had passed the appropriate test.He played really well (after coming back on) and was fine after the game so he was clearly right to come back on, Hannebery said.
