Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I don’t have a special reason for choosing to do this event or for representing this charity other than this... my lovely friend Caroline Searle has been relentlessly raising money for this WONDERFUL charity for years.  Every time I read about this organisation it moves me to want to support them and today I am finally doing it.

I have posted a video link about the charity to my Facebook page. Please, please take a few minutes to watch it (you may need a tissue) so you can see why I am so moved and hopefully you will be too, moved to open your wallet that is!

I entered this half marathon last year, the first time I have ever completed this distance, but due to injury and a lack of training I walked the second half.

I promised myself I would go back this year and try to run the whole way.  Unfortunately with just over 6 weeks to go and no training to date I am giving myself a real challenge but that’s why I’m hoping you will give me some pennies/dollars and help motivate me to earn it on behalf of this incredible cause! 

In addition today marks the 7 year anniversary of the loss of a friend for both Caroline and I, Heather Cooper. Whilst my charity challenge was unrelated it seems like a great day to do something good ❤️
