THANK YOU! To everyone who has helped us to raise the amazing total of over £4000 for Leonard Cheshire Disability! It will make a real difference to all of the young people at Lavender Fields.

THANK YOU! Also for the wonderful supportive messages for our daughter, who is making steady progress - and for all the encouragement which helped me to keep going with training and on the day when I felt like giving up! It has been a once in a lifetime experience, and would not have been possible without the wonderful warmth and good wishes from so many.

My daughter is presently in a wheelchair due to illness. We are hopeful that she will recover fully, but this has made us very aware of the challenges facing young people with disabilities. Lavender Fields, part of Leonard Cheshire Disability, helps young people with serious disabilities work towards leading independent lives. We would like to help them.

As a novice runner of a certain age (57!) running the London Marathon has also been a major personal challenge.

All donations made already have been very much appreciated and the personal support has been amazing- thank you !
