Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As this is my first (and maybe last) marathon, I'm both nervous and excited at the prospect of running the 2019 Virgin Money London Marathon 2019.

What will get me through the wet and windy training over the next few months and around the 26.22 mile course on the day however is the knowledge that as a team we will have raised a 'shedload' of well needed cash for The Hospice of the Good Shepherd.

This is a fantastic organisation which provides free care for local residents in Chester and Deeside who are facing life limiting illness. 

With dedicated and caring members of staff, supported by a fabulous team of volunteers they provide an in-patient unit, out-patient services, a day therapy centre and offer complimentary therapies and bereavement support throughout the community.

Having seen first hand last year the wonderful support that was given to our good Class Fitness friend Kathy Dempsey, I can't think of a more deserving charity to run for.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and show your support....

I'll do the running if you do the donating! Di x
