Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. At the age of 53 I have discovered that I can run, after spending years saying I couldn't!  Last year, thanks to the amazing Couch To 5k app, I found my running feet and since Christmas I have gradually achieved further and further distances. In January I went a bit mad and signed up for the GSR, at that time I could only run about 3km! 

Partly the reason was to set myself a challenge but much more it was about wanting to help to find a cure for Chrons. The reason - my eldest son's girlfriend and her brother both have it, and until I met Ella, I had no idea of the impact of this diagnosis. There is no cure, it is very painful, impacts on your diet, often results in hospital visits, the treatments are unpleasant and can be invasive, and lots of children and young people are now being diagnosed. Please help me to raise as much money as I can for CICRA - Chron's in Childhood Research Association. Thank you
