Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving Page!!

As some of you know I took up running 18 months ago to keep fit and get me out of the house. My first 10k was at Windsor Park in September 2016 and I loved it. A little thought entered my mind that became a goal after returning from injury in January 2017 and really seeing the benefits of running for my own mental health: Completing 40 races before my 40th Birthday on 3rd November 2019 including an Ultra Marathon!!!!

I am planning to raise awareness for M.E. and much needed funds for research into M.E., an illness that affects my husband and father of our son Dexter, and thousands of others.
Having completed 4 Races so far (Windsor 10k, Frimley 10k, Run for Champagne and Pretty Muddy 5k) and am in the middle of one (Race at your Pace- 50 miles in August),I aim to complete another 35 within the next 27 months.
Upcoming are the Bacchus Half (around Denbies Vineyard), Fleet 10k, Birthday Run around Chessington World, the Hogs Back Race, Jan- February 2018 Run Series around Newlands Corner (Surrey Hills), most likely the Surrey Half and the first marathon ever in April 2018- Brighton Marathon!!
I will hopefully finish this challenge by completing the “Race to the Stones” or “Cotswold Way Challenge” on the way. I am looking forward to running in suggested fancy dress/ silly costumes by you, running in exciting, unusual locations or races and I shall keep you updated along the way.
Your support and donations throughout this long journey will be appreciated very, very much and will give me strength when times get tough which no doubt they will on occasion!

What is ME?
ME (Myalgic Encephalopathy), or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, is an illness that blights the lives of 250,000 people in UK today. Even the smallest exertion can floor them; their joints and muscles ache unbearably; restful sleep eludes them; and ‘brain fog’ clouds even the smallest judgment. It changes their lives drastically – disrupting education; making employment impossible; and straining family relations to breaking point. People may be housebound or confined to bed for many months or years. There is no known cure. 

The ME Association

The ME Association has been campaigning for years to have ME recognised as a severe neurological illness that deserves to be taken seriously. They are working tirelessly to promote research into the physical nature and causes of the illness so that it can be diagnosed quickly and in the hope that a cure, one day, can be found. They also support ME sufferers and their families through their ME Connect helpline. The money that is raised will go towards The ME Association’s work in these areas - campaigning, support and research.
