Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've always been a keen runner, but since having my son in 2013 I haven't really had the time (or energy) to get back in to it. That said, when I heard about the RTS charity and learned more about little Jack through his cousins Harrison and Jacob, I felt the urge to want to help the fundraising effort. 


Having a child is a life changing event I'm sure everyone would agree, but having a child with a life altering condition such as RTS is even more life changing. I know what happiness and fun Jack brings to the lives of those who know him, and I want to raise money to ensure that him and other families can benefit from the great work the RTS charity do.


I also want to set myself a running goal, so, I've decided to run from my house in Aspley Guise, Milton Keynes, to the other side of Milton Keynes, to join the convoy going to the 3 Peaks team challenge. It's about 7 miles, which after 5 years of minimal running I think will be a challenge in itself!


Anything you can do to help support me, however small,id really appreciate it.
