Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

While I love running, the thought of taking part in a marathon doesn't appeal to me. Instead I have decided to do THREE MARATHONS in my own way - by combining all the timed runs I do this year, either Parkruns or 5k / 10k races.

Maria Britton, my good friend who inspired me to run, died last November. It is approximately 78 miles from my house in Honley to her house in Long Riston - roughly the same distance as three marathons.

Maria helped me to believe that I could run and taught me the skills I needed to complete my first 10k run last summer. She called our runs "Nourishment for the soul".

When she was in hospital we talked about the runs we would do together. These runs are for her and for the charities that supported her and her family.
