Story

Physical Education report Lower 6th -

“Sophie is not in the top ability bracket but she does enjoy a great deal of what this subject has to offer. She puts both Tennis and Squash firmly at the top of her list. At the other end of the scale, she admits to a total aversion to Cross Country Running and will not be sorry to leave this event behind after the end of this term.”

What would Miss Wheaton say if she heard I am doing the London Marathon this year..! So it should have been my dear Papa’s 80th this October 3rd, and when I got the email saying this year’s marathon is October 2nd, it seemed impossible to ignore. Having jogged about a bit in the last few years I haven’t been starting from scratch, but I’m certainly feeling it as I step up the miles (13 for the first time  on 31 July - a hard last 3m and that’s only half way 😳🙊) so I would be so grateful if you feel you’re able to sponsor me in order to keep me going to 26 miles by October. 

Muscular Dystrophy UK is the charity for the 70,000 children and adults living with muscle-wasting conditions in the UK. There's currently no cure, and it many cases, it limits lives. MDUK do vital work in funding pioneering research into treatments and cures as well as providing vital information, advice, resources and support for individuals and families living with these conditions.All donations, big or small, are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
