I cannot believe I’m even writing these words so I know it will surprise you all to read this. 

Run for a mate with a mate and I’m putting myself right up there. I am going to try the run for Rob Burrow marathon in May. I will be honest hand on heart will I make it around the tough marathon route I am not sure but I promise from the bottom of my heart that I’m going to give it my best shot. Tasha Miller thank you for being the mate to run/ walk with me and Rob and Lindsey you are the mates I am running for, I love you more than you will ever know. 

Life with 2 small boys has kept me busy so I’m starting my Marathon journey a lot later than anyone recommends, couch to marathon in 4 months is not an easy feat but when you feel so passionately about something I really hope anything is possible. 

I struggle to find the words to explain the love and complete respect I have for Rob, Lindsey and their amazing families. When Rob shared his news with me just days after his diagnosis I am embarrassed to say I was a little blown away and didn’t understand the enormity of the news he had shared. But further research shook my world. Just the thought of my special friends having to face such a horrendous situation gave me sleepless nights and so much sadness.

I couldn’t be any prouder of the way they have taken on this horrible disease in a hope to find a cure to help people in the future. The Rob Burrow MND centre will give people suffering like you the facilities and support they deserve. You are both incredible

I know times are tough at the moment but please if you can afford to support me I would be eternally grateful. I am going to do my absolute best to get around this course however long it takes. 

Run for a mate with a mate, motivated more than ever x
