Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I never would have thought this time last year that I would be doing the Royals Parks Half Marathon in memory of my Mum.  She was the most amazing person and there is not a day goes by when I wonder what she would have thought of this and what she would have made of that.  My life is totally different now I think it is the phone calls I miss the most and not hearing her reassuring voice.  She was always there for her family and it seems everyone else's life she touched and she touched a lot! She could light up a room when she entered.

I would also just like to say to my Dad that he is so brave and doing so well because I know however much I am hurting he is hurting twice as much.

Lastly I want to say a huge thank you to the lovely people who are joining me on the day to run as a team.  I know that most of you have had a similar experience and lost loved ones to this terrible disease. It will be a very emotional day but with the love and support (and possibly a few jelly beans) we will get through it together.
