Story

As some of you maybe aware I've had a difficult year so far, and at the start of the year I used the 'Men Can Talk' group to help me through the most difficult changes in my life. Unfortunately my circumstances have changed meaning I cant attend the meetings anymore, but Im still as motivated to do the fundraising as ever!

I'm doing the fundraising for Suffolk Libraries as a way to pay back for the help the group gave me and also in general the service they provide to the communities and families in the local area. I'm sure you will have all used the libraries at some point but maybe not realised the wider help they give beyond the books.

My training has been a little up and down, I've managed to do two events already this year, both at 10K distances, as a way to warmup to this half marathon. I'm into the final month of training now so keen to get the sponsorship going! Thank you for any donations you can do :)
