Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last April I decided to try running again (I tried it in my 50s and wasn't very good at it) as I was no longer able to go to exercise classes or swimming lessons. I was amazed to discover that I could run 2.6miles so I kept up the running and challenged myself to run 60km in November. That went well so I needed a new challenge to keep myself running through the winter. I decided to train for a half marathon. Well I have been following a training programme and next Saturday is the day of my half marathon. 

I'm very anxious about it, constantly worrying that I'll fall over or that my knees will give up, but so far so good. This is the biggest physical challenge I've ever set myself and I would be very grateful if you could sponsor me. I've chosen Hart Wildlife Rescue because they are always being called on for help by the people in my local area and well over 3,000 animals were treated by them in 2020. Their income was severely impacted in 2020 and it would be great to help them.
