Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This is my first running challenge over 10 years...........

I needed to start losing weight & getting fit! In June of last year I started off only being able to run for 1 or 2 minutes at a time. I have now managed to get up to running 5Km without stopping to walk once, and am over 5 stone lighter than 12 months ago.

I decided I would do a few 5K races this year, and maybe push myself into trying a 10K later in the year, and thought I may do it for a charity, but I wasn't quite sure who.......

My best friend's mum, Ann, lost her battle with cancer less than a month ago, and the care given to her, and the whole family at Holme Towers in Penarth was amazing. The fact that the facillities at the hospice are purely down to charity donations spurred my desire to 'run to raise.'

I would be very very grateful if you would consider sponsoring me - its a fantastic cause!
