Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

I have taken the plunge and I am going for the half marathon. I want my efforts to count for something and I know that Macmillan nurses really make a difference.

I am training regularly and I have managed to run about 12K so far....not enough yet but I will keep you posted.

It has been a tough couple of weeks, sadly, my Mum died and my Dad is ill in hospital. I haven't run as much as I had planned. My Mum was a determined character so I am determined to see this through...so come on, give me a boost and sponsor me!!

I have managed to keep training while I have been busy at work and at the weekends. It is paying off because I can run a bit faster and a bit further. I am running in a 10K race on July 11th with my daughter and her friend. I think I need some new trainers!

11/07/2010

Well, what a day, I ran the British 10k with my daughter, Sarah and her friend, Lauren. We all had good times and a great day. New trainers and a time of 1.07 so on course for 2.30 for the half marathon in September. I am working really hard so please make it worthwhile and sponsor me!!!

Only three weeks to go! I have kept my training up all through the summer and I can run for 11 miles now. Still slow but I am getting there and getting stronger all the time. Some days I feel very confident and others I am scared to death! Keep me going by sponsoring me and pass on the web page so all your friends and colleagues can do the same.
