Thank you everyone for your donations. whether I know you through friendship my career or social media. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

beat my pb for rowing today. cranking up the length and angle of treadmill work and managed longer on the cross trainer.

enjoying the new me...long way to go but all I can do is focus on the start of London Marathon and that finish line

started circuit training now focusing on cardiovascular.

Looking forward to my life changing run. maybe this will actually make me want to lose weight and be healthy ...and raise lots of money

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Well here it is. My first attempt at The London Marathon. There are 2 reasons why I am doing this. The first is the most important. You never know what happens behind closed doors. Refuge help to make families safe from domestic abuse. No one should live in fear!

The second reason is my friend Bob loved his fitness. He was forever trying to get me to walk with him. I kept putting it off. July he passed away. I want to make him proud to say "I can do it". I want my friend to be proud of what I am doing. Not just for me, but raising money for people who need safety.
