Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I decided to enter the half marathon just before Christmas 2012. I wanted to combine a huge personal challenge for me to fill in the time as I had recently stopped working. And had barely found the time to exercise since i had my first child 13 years ago.....! But mostly because i wanted to do something in memory of the lovely little boy of one of my oldest friends, who very sadly died last year after a short but incredibly brave fight with cancer. CLIC Sargent helped them all the way through that journey and are still helping the rest of the family cope in the aftermath of his untimely death.

The race is now a week away and i am battling injuries, keeping the sports therapists in Kent afloat! So it aint gonna be a pretty run for me at least, look for me limping at the back with the funny guy wearing the duck outfit! However  I aim to do the distance nonetheless and am not being proud about my time!

If you feel able to sponsor me and support this wonderful charity in their work then it will make my run seem very worthwhile and I shall be very grateful!
