I am raising money for Macmillian Cancer Care as they gave our lovely Mom valuable support with their kindness and care. I know our Mom really appreciated their help.

I started trying to run in January, building up my distance a mile at a time! Each mile added was difficult for the first time but as I built up the distance it got more bearable! If I ever get to a point in my run when it's hurting and I want to stop I always think to myself this is probably the least amount of pain Mom would have experienced with the lung cancer - at least I can run and breathe and I know she would've given anything to do the same (although I think she would be saying I was crazy running this far! )

I have run 9miles so far and I hope to get to 11 miles by the end of the month; I just hope I can finish the half marathon.....

Many of my friends recently donated £3 for Cancer Research with the 'bare face selfie' and it would be really kind if you could donate any amount of money for Macmillan to support others dealing with this awful disease

Thank you very much for your support, every little donation helps :-) xx
