Story

In May 2012 I completed a sprint triathlon in memory of my beautiful aunt Irena, who sadly lost her life to an angiosarcoma in October 2011. https://www.justgiving.com/account/your-pages/Colette-Frost0

She knew I had entered the tri and it seemed fitting that I raise as much money as possible for a charity that she cared about. After my triathalon lots and lots of endorphins and emotions were floating around my body. During this "high" I entered Bristol half marathon......2 days later the reality of never having run futher than 5 miles hit home!

As we generally ask the same people for money and I had recklessly entered I initally thought I'd complete the event for "fun"! As the event has got nearer and nearer - gulp. Lots of people have been asking me who I am raising money for. 

Here I am again, asking for support to this wonderful cause that helped Irena and our family. If you can spare any pennies at all, please donate as it really does all help.

Thank you

Colette
