Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 26th April 2015 I will be running the Virgin London Marathon. This is a huge challenge for me and I hope I can achieve this in memory of my Dad Ray Fitzjohn.

My wonderful Dad was in hospital for 4 months mostly in intensive care missing out on family life one big occasion being Emily's 1st birthday and the other being Mum and Dads 40th wedding Anniversary.  I watched Dad fight so hard to get better and accomplish many milestones on the road to recovery but with every step forward came two steps back and a lot of disappointment but he never complained.  Dad wasn't able to communicate with us towards the end but he knew that his loving wife and daughters spent many days sitting with him so he wasn't alone.

Sadly Dad lost his battle and died on Christmas Eve 2012 with all his family by his side. He was 61.

I am so proud of the way Dad coped with all he went through, and hope he would be proud of me.

I have decided to raise money for Paul Strickland Scanner Centre at Mount Vernon Hospital, when dad visited here for his PET scan he said he would make a donation once he was better, but he never got to do this.

I know there are lots of people asking for sponsorship and donations at this time of year but myself and my chosen charity would appreciate any donation that you can give.

So wish me luck and thank you for supporting me.... I hope to see some of you there on the day xx
