Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I lost my brothers Nick (aged 28 in March 2000) and Jonathan (aged 29 in December 2012) to a rare genetic syndrome called Marinesco Sjorgren, and it has been the hardest thing I have ever had to witness in my life. I miss them terribly and not a day goes past when my two girls and I don't talk about them both.

Angela (one of Jonathan's (JoJo, aka Fonzo's) carers) and I will be running the Silverstone Half Marathon on 2nd March 2014, with my cousin Chas Savin for the White Lodge Centre in Chertsey, the school and adult education centre that both the boys attended and which was a lifeline for my parents. 

In the meantime, via our blog http://teamrunjojo.blogspot.co.uk, Angela and I will keep you fully informed of our progress and I shall bore you senseless too, in the hope that you will sponsor us lots and lots of cash just to keep us quiet if nothing else!!

In memory of my Boys, the least I can do is don my horribly vibrant pink trainers, clad myself in lycra and pound the streets of the Woking Massive, terrorise the towpaths of Surrey and raise some much needed funds for White Lodge. As many of you will know, this is a real challenge for me - I have never run anywhere in my life unless it has been for last orders or the last train. 

In the meantime, I shall just think of JoJo sitting in his wheelchair, hooting with laughter at Angela and I plodding along, and him shouting 'run!!!' Cx
