Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I wasn't intending to tell anyone that I was attempting a half-marathon (13 miles through woods and up hills) on 19th September due to sheer embarrassment.  However, I entered a 10k on 12th September and found out that I'm a natural!  I came 407th (also known as last) and ran for 1 hour 26 minutes.

My will-power and my battered feet need some extra encouragement to finish the Farnham Pilgrims half-marathon next week and hopefully raise money for a worthwhile charity at the same time.

Anyone that donates will have their name entered in to a prize draw to win a bottle of champagne.  Names will be chosen from a hat on Monday 20th September after I have completed the race.  Donations small and large are welcome, everything helps.

If you would prefer to donate to Help the Heroes then please go to www.justgiving.com/Jacqueline-DixonHFH
