In April this year i will be turning 50! so i decided to run the Colchester half marathon as a little ticked box....but more importantly now for my dad. .......

Over the last year my dad has lived with the cruel disease of vascular dementia, so i have decided to try and raise as much as i can for this worthy charity. Dad has been a fighter especially in the last 6 months where he has fought off infection after infection and Aug last year he spent 10 days in hospital fighting Septicemia which amazingly he pulled through after the wonderful care and patience of the staff at Col General Hospital and Loganberry Lodge where he now resides.  He is a fighter but at the same time a poorly man, who's world he sometimes no longer recognizes or understands!!  Please help me in raising as much money as i can even if its a pound it will be gratefully received and my pledge will be to run to my best ability on the day......for my Dad. xxx
