Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>It's that time of year again. The Douglas/Sweeney household is going into daft physical challenge season.</p> <p>On Saturday June 11th we'll be taking part in the 2011 Swaledale Marathon. The&nbsp;route passes through some of the finest scenery in the Yorkshire Dales. The 23 mile course is a fell run and challenge walk event and competitors must navigate themselves across&nbsp;open moor&nbsp;and complete the course within 10 hours. I'll be walking, or should I say marching, the course along with two wonderful neighbours. Sean will be running the course with another neighbour.</p> <p>I've been training for months, involving swimming, marching Sean up and down the hills of the Dales, Moors, The Cheviots and the&nbsp;South West&nbsp;Coastal Path and cycling. I'm determined to complete the course in around 8 hours. Oh, I forgot to&nbsp;add that there is 4,000 feet of ascent along the route. All in all a good day out on the hills.</p> <p>I'd love it if you could help me to raise some money to support the brilliant&nbsp;programmes run by&nbsp;Jessie's Fund. They bring so much tangible value&nbsp;to children with complex health, physical, emotional, behavioural and learning needs.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to&nbsp;Jessie's Fund&nbsp;and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation.</p>
