Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Friday I received delivery of a treadmill. And then I had an idea, that has frankly scared the sh*t out of me BUT I can't get it out of my head....to push myself to raise money for our AMAZING NHS workers.

I have decided today to go for it and I am going to (try to!) run a marathon. Indoors. In my kitchen. On the treadmill. Staring at the wall for over 26 miles....!

This afternoon I had a run to see if it might be possible. I still don't know if I can, but I managed 30k without collapsing or, vomming  (it was close to be fair) but I *think* I can do it.... I hope!  We celebrated with quite a lot of wine (because life is all about balance right?!).

I WILL run a marathon in the next few weeks. I'm not sure precisely when. I'll know when I wake up if it feels right so I don't want to be too rigid about it. But I WILL do, even if I have to walk and crawl some of it, because I have never felt more indebted to all the amazing NHS angels who put others first every day. Thank you to all my wonderful selfless friends who are part of this, you are all beyond any words I can muster.

It would be great if you would like to sponsor me, I'd appreciate it so much.

I hope I can do this justice, I will give it my absolute all xxx
