Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving fundraising page. I’m raising funds for SLOW again 

This year I dedicate my run to Nola and her family.💗 Nola was just 6 years old when she died earlier this year - in 2020 she was given just 8-10 months to live after an inoperable DIPG brain tumour was diagnosed. During this time I supported the family from doing food shops to taking them for hospital appointments. SLOW are a charity who support Nola’s family now.

In 2019, with just 5 weeks’ notice I was asked to run a half marathon with my friend Jenny for this amazing charity. Back in 2020 we decided to support them again - running the same event -The Royal Parks Half Marathon - hoping for a faster time - hoping to raise more money for SLOW in these very challenging times. They do amazing work supporting families who have lost a child - supporting parents and siblings through devastating times. In such difficult times - charities like SLOW are needed more than ever.

Then COVID struck and the 1/2 marathon was cancelled in October 2020 - it was rescheduled for April 2021 but became a virtual marathon.

Running a faster time ( a personal challenge) was looking good until March 2021 when I managed to get quite a serious back injury and then a not so funny neurological issue - So with various visits and stays in hospital and multiple doctors appointments and still on a heavy daily drug schedule - and that’s just me ( I will leave Jenny to tell her crazy hospital ridden 8 months) Jenny and I are still planning to walk/run this 1/2 marathon and complete it - even if we crawl across the line. 

Please sponsor us - our goal is still £1250 each - we would love to raise this much or more bearing in mind the struggles we are both overcoming - for charity - for Nola ❤️
