Thanks for checking out my fundraising page for Lucy Air Ambulance...

I am probably the worst designed person to run a half marathon. I have never run distances like this before and possibly never will again !!

I have severe hip displacia... in fact 6 years ago my pelvis had just been surgically broken into 4 pieces on the right side and pinned back together ... they didn't think I would be able to run again.

It took a serious recovery to get back to 'normal' starting with 7 days in hospital hooked up to an epidural the entire time unable to move... then a lot of rehab, physio, blood, sweat and tears... and 4-5 months to even be able to walk properly!

I need the right side doing soon (ish) so am glad to be getting this half in before hand. My aim is to complete it without breaking myself in the process ;-) and as pain free in the hip dept as possible would be really nice!

My husband Ed usually takes on these challenges to raise cash for charities... however, he is injured and can't run, so it's my turn to brave it!

I never in a million years thought I would complete a half marathon. However in my training (which I am totally winging by the way...) I ran 10 miles in January which was my longest run EVER! at that point I realised, yes I can actually do this.... I believe I can and will do this and now I will start acting like I am doing this...
From tomorrow (Sunday 23rd Feb) I have got 5 weeks until the big day and thought I should defo open up my just giving page and ask you awesome people to sponsor me <3

Lucy AA is an amazing charity that flies premature or sick babies and children around the UK in a plane (rather than a helicopter) which means they can fly in bad conditions etc when helicopters cant. The service they provide is so needed and they are being called upon more and more every month... so desperately need more money to finance all the flights and the staff and supplies that go hand in hand with each flight!

Please be generous and give it everything you can spare - thanks you soooo much. (I promise in turn, to give this half marathon everything I've got!)
