Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

At the start of this year I never intended to run a half marathon however after a group of colleagues started training for Cwmbran Race for Life I decided to support them and train along side them, although I didn't partake in the race. Around the same time a colleague jokingly said we should run the half marathon. I was unsure if I could achieve this but signed up anyway.

As this is such a personal goal for me to try and achieve I thought that I would also raise money for a worth while cause in the process. Having had family members experience the loss of a son and knowing the support that was offered by SANDS I felt that this was the  charity that I would like to raise money for.  Any money raised will be in memory of this little one who would have been 3 this year.   

SANDS supports anyone who has been affected by the death of a baby before, during or shortly after birth.  They offer emotional support and information for parents, grandparents, siblings, children, families and friends, health professionals and others. Sands also promote and fund research that could help to reduce the loss of babies lives. More information about Sands can be found at https://www.uk-sands.org/support

I would be greatful for any sponsorship no matter how small as it will be going to a worth while cause.

Many Thanks
