I did it! It was just the best, so much fun in a v wet MK this morning. Ran it in 58.02 so am really pleased & already planning my half marathon... Crossing the line I welled up at the sight of my children & the thought of how much money we've raised for Keech. Amazing. Thank you everyone x

Thank you once again to everyone who has sponsored me. To read all of your messages of support is fantastic & has really inspired me over the past 6 weeks. Thanks so much guys!

Hi, thank you for taking the time to have a look at my Just Giving page. I wanted to raise money for a local charity, Keech Cottage in Bedfordshire. It really is an incredible place that makes an incredible difference to so many lives. Every time I visit I realise just how lucky my family is and how much I want to help. Now, half an hour ago on the MK Run website my finger did hover over the half marathon entry button but I chickened out/was a bit more realistic & opted for the 10K! I'll save that for later in the year... Please give what you can, Keech Cottage costs thousands of pounds every week to run; they really do appreciate every pound donated. Thanks so much, Emma x
