Today was see how long I can run so managed 13miles in 2h.14m so all looking good with 12 weeks to go.

The reason why I am putting myself though all this pain. Its always been a dream of mine to run it after watching nearly every year sinse I can remember. So 2012 is my year to run the 26.2 miles and take in the London sights. I have been trying to get into London for 4 years and finally got a ballent place. Its also on things to do before im 30 list. (which is 26 days after)

I am running this event to raise money and awareness for the charity 'Greenfingers'. And keeping in the theme I am running the 26miles dress as a Dragonfly.

Please Donate to help me get to my target so Greenfingers can make unwell Childrens stay in hospice's a better experience.

You can now text LOUU82 followed by £1 , £2 , £3 , £4 , £5 , or £10 to 70070. To help me get to my Target. As TESCO would say every little helps!!!

Naomi House: Quiet Garden - Winchester

Return to Map

 

 

This children's hospice in the grounds of the adult hospice needed its own area for reflection and remembrance. Greenfingers was initially invited by Brian Smith of Woodlea Nurseries (strong supporters of Naomi House) to become involved. With a water feature, paved seating area and with a stunning wooden screen

 

The garden was designed by Beth Munro and Green Landscapes undertook the landscaping. By creating a water feature, a paved sitting area and an arbour seat, all surrounding a central gravelled area, has created a garden with a calm and peaceful atmosphere that was warmly welcomed by all concerned. Now the hospice has the Quiet Garden it always needed.
