Story

**UPDATE-I completed the GNR in 2 hours 26 minutes! Thank you all so much for your donations they really did motivate me especially through the last few miles** 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. As many of you will know I lost the most important man in my life, my grandad,  to an enlarged heart when I was only 12 years old. From then on i've always wanted to raise money for the British Heart Foundation and in the year of my 21st birthday there is no better time. I'm not the most athletic person and always avoided sport in school, except for ballet and netball, however having had knee surgery a couple of years ago and being told i would never run has inspired me to try. I've already started training down in Nottingham but know it will get a lot harder training in the Lakes. So please please dig deep and sponsor me even the smallest amount..... it all adds up!

Thank you so much for reading my page and please share with your family and friends. Your support and donations really do mean the world to me and I can promise you all that I really will try my best. I may not be the fastest but my heart is well and truly in this. I'm determined to make you all proud!
