Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Since I was a little girl I have always watched and admired those that have taken part in the Great West Run and thought I would like to do that one day. As the years have gone on the chances of me being in a position to undertake such a challege were getting thinner & thinner!

Well in Janaury, (this my 40th year), it was my New Years resolution to get fitter and by that I started the `Couch to 5k` challenge. To start with it was a struggle to run for just a minute, but throughout training I have always been mindful of 2 very special people, (Teresa Wegner & Andy Ewart) who I watched battle with terminal cancer. 

They gave me the inspiration to fight through the difficult times, (to keep going up those steep steep hills) and for that I thank them, as I know that sense of achievement I am going to feel when I cross the finishing line will be immense.

In return Hospiscare played a major part in making their final weeks as comfortable as possible and without their help and support I cannot imagine how we all would have coped?

Therefore in return for me putting a tick on my `bucket list`, Hospiscare, so deservedly, shall receive your kind donations. Please give has much as you are able, to help keep these amazing angels on our doorstep, (you just never know when you might need them).
