Hello all,

Well, I did it and it wasn't pretty!  Thank you to everyone who sponsored me, I will be posting pictures soon for everyones amusement. 

I'm not convinced that I bettered my time as a) I'm not entirely sure what the time was when I started and b) I'm not entirely sure what the time was when I finished.  However, I think it was around the 34 minute mark which considering that I was running with a back pack and had to play people dodge, is satisfactory.

Thank you for visiting my page.

I completed this run last year but didn't do it for charity. This year I want to complete the run in a better time and help those less fortunate than me in the process. 

When I received my number for the race, I also received a list of charities looking for support. Able Child Africa (www.ablechildafrica.org.uk) is not a charity I have come across before, but having read about the work they do and what they are trying to achieve, I decided that this would be my charity for this run.  The charity says "we estimate that 50 million children and young people in Africa - that means 1 in 8 yound people on the continent - are living with a disability.  The involvement of disabled children and young people in Africa's development is not an option - it is a necessity".  £5 will pay for a 3 month supply of drugs for a child with epilepsy, while £20 will pay for a month's schooling for a young disabled child.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks,

Elizabeth
