Hi everyone and thank you for taking the time to visit my sponsorship page with JustGiving.

On the 11th April i will be running the Paddock Wood Half Marathon and i need your help to get me through it!! At the end of the summer last year i set myself this goal as a way to get fit and to motivate myself to go down the gym during the long dark winter nights. My plan was to raise money and awareness for ALERT, the African Lion and Environmental Research Trust, the project i fell in love with during my time in Zimbabwe and where 'Lion Country' the documentary currently being shown on ITV is filmed.

However at the beginning of the year my mum was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and she is currently undergoing treatment for this the most common cancer in the UK. So my plans have changed and i am now trying to raise as much money as possible for both these very important causes, so that the amazing work done by both charities can continue in the future.

So please please please give as much as you can to one or even both charities by spreading your donation between this site for cancer research or go to www.lionalert.org to help ALERT and protect the future of the African Lion, and where you can even sponsor a lion!

Knowing that you are supporting me and raising money for two very important causes will hopefully get me round the 13 and a bit mile course that bit quicker. Training so far is going well, i have run 9 miles in just over one and a half hours, so only another 4 and a bit mile on top of that.

Promise i will let you all know how i do!! Thank you again xxx
