Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, that's me in the yellow jacket in the photo above, with staff and members of Kingston Centre for Independent Living (otherwise known as KCIL), a wonderful local charity that makes a difference to disabled people at a local, immediate level. I may be a little biased, full disclosure, I'm KCIL's office manager, but KCIL changes lives and I wanted to do an extra bit to recognise the amazing work they do.

I also, to admit my second motivation for running 5K in Battersea this October, desperately need the incentive to run more regularly. KCIL is all about support for both physical and mental health issues and disabilities, and running is very relaxing! I am a very on - mainly off runner, I have run 5K in the past, and I want to get back to doing that more regularly, and at a slightly less embarrassing speed! My aim this October, is to run Battersea 5K in 30-40 minutes (current pb 44.14 and that was 3 years ago!), lets see if that happens!
