Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be running (ha ha - completing) the London Marathon on 23rd April 2017 for the Make A Wish Foundation. The foundation helps to grant magical wishes to enrich the lives of children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions.

This is a big deal for me because :

A) I cant run 

b) London scares me

C) I'm 37 that week - what if my legs stop working!!

As part of my training I'll be doing the following races to try and build up my mileage..
2nd Oct - Women's Running 10k Leeds
9th Oct - York 10 miles
30th Oct - Sheffield 10k
7th Nov- Leeds Abbey Dash
8th Jan- Temple Newsham 10 mile
27th Feb- Harewood House Half Marathon
9th April- Sheffield half marathon

I will be doing a few fundraising ideas up until April so what this space.

Thanks Helen xxx
