I started running when I was 45 and have run 3 half marathons,  which I had decided was absolutely enough.  It was on a whim that I entered the ballot for a place thinking that this was the only half marathon I would ever do now.  I was  sure that I would not get a place.  But I did! I decided I would need some help so persuaded Claire and Issy (their combined age is less than mine!) to help me along.  We decided to run for SUDC as I had become aware of it through my great friend Mandy.  I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child and want to play a part in helping their work.  

SUDC UK is a registered, national charity dedicated to raising awareness, funding research and supporting families affected by Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC).     SUDC is the sudden and unexpected death of a child aged 1-18 years where the cause of death remains unexplained after a thorough investigation. 40 children are affected every year in the UK, more than young child deaths due to traffic accidents, fires or drowning and comparable to 1-2 seemingly healthy children dying every fortnight. Thank you for your support.
