Story

UPDATE:

In response to the Fleet Half Marathon being called of due to Covid-19, I decided to go out running locally to mark what would have been the day of the half marathon sporting The Fountain Centre’s fundraising vest in honour.

I did manage the 13.3 miles, despite my own route proving a little muddier than a road based race course! It also involved multiple hills where the previous half I accomplished in October didn’t even have a curb to climb and the only mud was in the Race Village, so 7 minutes slower was hopefully a respectable time for today?!!

Hope to achieve an even better finish time if and when the Fleet event is rescheduled.....

Please can donors get in touch if they are not happy to accept this arrangement (we can’t assume that you are), so that the charity can arrange for refunds to be issued. Although I have contacted most of you lovely people (you know who you are), some of the anonymous donors have foxed me! 

Thank you again for you support. After all, raising money for the charity itself is the main objective.

(Please help me to raise money for the Fountain Centre at the Royal Surrey in Guildford. They provided invaluable support to my late Mother Penny O’Connell when she had breast cancer.  During a very traumatic time, she sought comfort from their advice when choosing the most suitable  prosthetic following surgery and when selecting a convincing wig. The massages also aided relaxation, not only for her but also for my Dad and myself- the best we’ve ever had! The masseuse even became a friend and helped Mum during her final days.

Please help her memory to live on by investing in this worthy cause..... 

Thank you so much!)
