Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I gave up smoking in January 2015, (I smoked for 24 years)  I decided I needed to do something else as giving up smoking was making me eat more and put on a bit of weight.

I decided to get fit and start running without joining a running club.  I set a standard of running several lampposts. When I put this into practise I could only run one and walk another.  I persevered until I was running 3 lampposts and walking one.  So through my own encouragement  with the help of "map my run" I did my first mile, then one mile became two, two became three, and so on.

Since then I have done a number of races and one of them being the Birmingham half marathon in October of this year raising £1461.00 for a charity that is also close to my heart.

My aim is to raise as much money as I can for this amazing charity Action Heart, because without them a very close friend of my family would not be here today.

I have opened a blog/page on Facebook (Jenny’s London Marathon Training Page) so you can see all the hard work I am putting in to get to the finish line of the London 2017 Marathon, with your help and support on the fundraising side it will make my hard working  journey a whole lot more encouraging.
