One cold Friday November’s evening, in the pub after a hard week at work, relaxing with a large glass of wine in my hand, Kerys mentioned that she had signed up to do a walking challenge…… 100km in 24 hrs, London 2 Brighton in May 2014.  “Who is up for it?” Kerys asked, “It’s for a good cause after all?”….. Well, never one to turn down a challenge (especially after a few wines!) I dutifully volunteered. On waking the following morning, the memories of this agreement flooded back to me…. Kerys emailed Lara…. “I’m not sure if Jen is really up for it or it was the wine talking last night?”…… Well, being the stubborn Scot that I am I got straight on the London 2 Brighton website and signed up!!

The Forrest Gumpettes were formed…… Kerys, Lara, Jodie, Emma, Claire & me.

I have now invested in a good pair of walking boots and plenty of blister plasters, and the training is now well under way!

It will be tough but it’s for a great cause and I would really appreciate any donation you can afford! 

Thanks!
