Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you can guess by the title of this page and the (no doubt) constant nagging to sponsor me .... I signed up to run a half marathon ... ME! Eeeeeeep!!

I am a lot nervous as I have never run that far before ... never run further than 11km before and this will be around 21km!!! 

Cure leukaemia is an amazing charity, they provide a lot of help and support to those affected with the cruel disease! The money raised from your sponsors and donations will go towards funding nurses for research and very technical medical things!! 

This past school year my son has lost 2 school friends to this horrible disease ... both of them under the age of 15! ... That's no age at all!! ... More research is needed to get closer to finding a cure! 

Please go check out the Cure Leukaemia website and see what they do .... EVERY penny helps ... only got 50p? That's great we will ALL be VERY thankful!! 

Just think of my poor feet and knees and legs and all that as I begin to build up my training and stamina and stuff to become and amazing runner!! ... It's going to be tough and there WILL be tears!!! 

So please dig deep and donate now. ... 

Thank you so much in advance for your donation/sponsorship

I love you! :) xxxx
