Hi all,

Thank you so much for visiting my fundraising page for the Great South Run!

Ever since Jue signed me up for this I've wondered what on Earth I was thinking when I said to him that I needed a challenge - you can imagine how that feeling increased tenfold when I discovered Jue had actually booked me onto a 10 MILE not 10km run - thanks hubby!

Being the dutiful partner he is, Jue has also signed up for this challenge.

So now you know what I am going to ask you. Please either sponsor me because: you find the above slightly amusing; you know how stubborn/determined I am to tackle this challenge head-on (as a non-runner); you know how hard it will be and are not daft enough to do it; OR because you want to make a difference....

I'm sure you know of someone who has experienced with mental distress. Or maybe you yourself have suffered from depression, anxiety or even an eating disorder.

Jue and I have decided to run for MIND, a charity that helps people to take control of their mental health. They do this by providing high-quality information and advice, and campaigning to promote and protect good mental health for everyone.

The money raised is going to a fantastic cause and your support would be very much appreciated. Please sponsor me/us - every penny will make a difference.

Thank you.
