Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Yes I am a glutton for punishment, having signed to do a half marathon.  I had hoped to do the full marathon, but too many things weren't working. Mainly my legs and feet!

However, I am so amazed at the incredible work Mercy Ships do, helping the world's poor, sick, and deformed with life-changing operations, with no cost and no catch.  It's humbling when you see some of the "before" pictures, and here I am complaining about achey feet!

Therefore I am going to attempt a half marathon for Mercy Ships on 27th May.  I've done 400 miles of training since the start of the year, and could really use some support & encouragement behind me for this mammoth task.

Some people want to finish in a set time, I will be so overjoyed to actually finish.  This is a real challenge for me.  I don't care if it takes me all day, I will do it.  Blood sweat and tears!

Please support me!  I aim to raise atleast £500 for the incredible work that Mercy Ships are doing.
