Reaching 50 hasn't been taken for granted and it's reminded me of so many who have positively supported me on my journey, but who are sadly no longer here.

Sheffield Hospitals Charity (Weston Park in particular) looked after my father-in-law during these heartbreaking days and I want to do something in his memory.

Covering 300 miles seemed like a great challenge to remember 'Shotgun' Mike by, especially after what he said on the eve of my wedding - and in memory of my friend, Clare who was an avid runner and was taken way before her time.

I'd love your support in helping to make a difference
