Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

When my mum was diagnosed with lung cancer in Brighton, the Macmillan nurses were really kind and helpful. Mum died at the end of 2013 although she is alive in our hearts and thoughts forever. I will be thinking of her every step of this marathon, as I have been throughout training. She was tenacious, resilient and brave, and would have told me to stop moaning and get on with it! So that's what I'm trying to do.

A lovely poem which includes a Molly and the seaside. So it seems very appropriate to me:

maggie and milly and molly and may by e.e. cummings

maggie and milly and molly and may 

went down to the beach(to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang 

so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star

whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing 

which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone 

as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me) 

it’s always ourselves we find in the sea
