Story

<p>Hello!</p> <p>Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page.&nbsp; In 2010, whilst comfortably lounging around, I decided that 2011 would be a year of activity and fitness.&nbsp; Unfortunately, I told a sufficient number of people about this plan that I couldn't back out at a later date and therefore I find myself in the midst of a&nbsp;'<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">12 events&nbsp;in 12 months' challenge.&nbsp; I am undertaking o</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">ne event each calender month from February 2011 until January 2012.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The events are all predominately running&nbsp;challenges, but are as varied as I could make them.&nbsp; I&nbsp;predict that my favourite&nbsp;challenge will be June's 5K run&nbsp;dressed as a sumo wrestler, and&nbsp;my least favourite&nbsp;is likely to be January's endurance obstacle course for which you have to sign a death warrant before participating.&nbsp; </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Having already run&nbsp;one marathon years ago, I feel fully qualified to attempt to cram three into 2011, two road marathons and one trail marathon.&nbsp; If you think this sounds like I am over doing it, I completely agree.&nbsp; Wish me luck! </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Whilst undertaking the 12 challenges I will be raising money&nbsp;for a small Bristol based charity, Unseen UK,&nbsp;that supports the survivors of human trafficking in the UK.&nbsp; For more information on the fantastic work&nbsp;carried out&nbsp;by the charity please visit <a href="http://www.unseenuk.org/">http://www.unseenuk.org/</a></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To track my progress over the 12 months and to find out more information on my 12 challenges, please visit my blog at <a href="http://unseenrunner.blogspot.com/">http://unseenrunner.blogspot.com/</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Many thanks for&nbsp;your support, which is much appreciated by both me and Unseen UK.<br /></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Amber</span></p>
