Story

Welcome to my JustGiving page.

A few years ago my gran passed away in Loros. Although I didn’t get to say goodbye I knew that she was comfortable and not in pain when she went, which I thank Loros and the nurses for.

That year my dad took part in the Leicester Half Marathon, I was unable to as I was far too unfit and unhealthy to even attempt it. Every year I said I would take part but never did! Since then I have been on a personal fitness journey and decided even though I am not a natural runner I will take the plunge and test myself!

The Half Marathon will involve a lot of hard work, training, tears and tantrums and the furthest distance I will run to date. It will take place on 26th October, which is the day after my birthday (good bye birthday plans!) I understand that I will have to completely change my life and dedicate it to training. I have pledged to raise £100 for Loros between now and October so would appreciate any donations!
