Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As i'm sure if you know me you will know over the last few years (ok 10 years) i have done little, ok no exercise and so not only put on a few pounds but also become very unfit. However when i recieved an email from the Elizabeth Foundation pleading for runners to raise money for the Foundation i didn't give it a second thought.

The Elizabeth Foundation is one of only two charities that support Pre-school Children and their families who are born with a severe loss of hearing. The work they do is absolutly fantastic and without them i'm sure that my gorgeous neice Caitlin would not be the confident (if not at times a bit demanding) little girl she is today.

As a family we owe a great debt to the foundation who are now also supporting my cousins brave little girl, Lotti but the foundation also supoprts hundreds of other children year after year in similar situations and at £7000 per child per term they need all the help they can get not just from the families but also from you guys.

So, i'm not a runner and i can't promise i'll make it round in under an hour, i can't even promise i'll make it round it two but i can promise even if its on hands and knees, i will make it round!

So please dig deep and donate to a fantastic and worthy cause.
