Story

I started writing a huge splurge about why you should sponsor me but decided everyone is too busy to read that and I ran 21 training miles yesterday so am too tired on top of work, kids etc to write it. Besides only those of you that know me will receive this so will understand.  I've opted to blast out the important bits -

Many friends / clients have had loved ones affected this year by cancer. My amazing mum beat cancer this year. Maggie's offered specialist support none of us could provide. It is a fantastic frontline facility. Staying fit & healthy can help prevent many types of cancer. Diet influences our risk of cancer. Running makes me feel fit & healthy and I want to use my passion and my profession to help.

Amsterdam will be my 7th in 7 years- woo hoo! Can I give up if I raise lots of money, achieve a new PB (sub 3:27), my gorgeous girls are inspired? Or at least move on to a new challenge .... :-)

Everyone is always asking for sponsorship these days I know - so now worries if online doesn't suit -  I'll be organising free fundraising classes, hosting events and the girls want to sell cakes (although they did want to do that to pay for a disney trip but I explained what charity is all about hee hee). Thanks so much Bx
