Story

Anyone that knows me, knows I have always been a bit 'large'. I have always wanted to run the marathon but never felt I will get round. But have decided I am not getting any younger, so it's now or never.

I will get round, even if I have to crawl. Look forward to boring you all senseless with the slow and painful progress I make when I start training.

Why Demelza? As you know, I'm a huge fan of what they do for ill children and their families and they sum it up best here:

"Demelza delivers extraordinary care to extraordinary children who are facing serious or life-limiting conditions, throughout Kent, South East London and East Sussex. Were here for them and their families with expert clinical, emotional and practical support at every step from first diagnosis and for as long as were needed.When they need us most, well be there; to reassure, to guide and to care. By their side when they feel isolated, helping to create joy in family life during challenging times and making precious memories.Demelza believes in care that doesn't back down."

Thank you for reading :)
