After being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism in March this year, after years pain and fatigue and everything that goes with it, I took my rheumotologists advice and started with a little bit of exercise. This soon became my pain management,strangely enough, and it also had a huge positive effect on my mental health too. If anyone had told me in March, that I would be running a marathon in April 2019....I would have said" No way! Impossible! " But people who know me, know that I dont give in easily! Its now been 6 months since I started my running and looking after myself. I decided to take on this personal challenge when my niece ,Chantelle, signed up for the Brighton marathon and said she really wished we could do it together... following in the footsteps of my brother,Karl, who will also be doing it for the 3rd time! I decided if I was going to do this, that raising money for CLIC sargent would help me stay motivated and this charity was the perfect choice as it has helped children and families of people that have touched  my heart. I have seen the importance of their work and I wanted to highlight what a worthy charity this is to raise money for. I am proud to be part of the CLIC sargent Brighton Marathon team 2019. Every penny I can raise will be a penny well spent and any amount,however small will help them to continue their ongoing support for children and families going through these devestating times. Their work is so important.  Thankyou for reading my story and supporting me through my challenge and giving to such a great,worthwhile charity . 💖
