Story

Hi all,

As most of you know my favourite holiday destination is Corfu. This is 2000km from Home as the crow flies!!

Therefore this calendar year I will be attempting to run 2000km! This will be a combination of organised races and training runs. All runs will be recorded by my Garmin watch and uploaded so you can track my progress. This is a massive commitment and means running circa 40-50k per week.

Adoption UK don't get the fundraising profile that cancer charities etc do. They do great work in helping children settle in adoptive homes and also help adoptive parents overcome any difficulties they may have. Having met with the charity last year I can't stress enough how much every single penny counts. A couple of quid will make a difference. 


Thanks for reading and for donating
