Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have never run this far before. Until August, the most I'd ever run was 3 miles; and that was a one-off, followed by a lie down, a cuppa and lots of complaining!

The Cardiff Half Marathon is a massive challenge for me. Not only is the distance A Big Deal, but I've never done anything like this before - you can all vouch that prior to this, my only foray into exercise was flinging myself around a dancefloor! And be honest...before I started to train for this how often had you seen me in a pair of trainers?!

I'm running the Cardiff Half Marathon for Brain Tumour Research, a charity that do amazing work, and one that is very important to me and my family. I'd really appreciate it if you could donate whatever you can. No amount is too small! And thinking of you all, and not wanting to let you down is what’s going to keep me going for those 13.1 miles.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
