My dear friend wrote a sweet little poem for me that the website couldn't save. I love it and it will keep me going, so here it is: 

Mrs Barton had trained hard for a race,

Thinking of children she picked up the pace

And despite all the pain - 

It was never in vain

Because of the smile she could paint on their face!

-Emma Kipps

Thank you, Emma.

Reasons why you should sponsor me and help my charity:

-I am an unfit, chubby mummy attempting a serious run

-Training is totally horrible and requires the motivation of donating friends to finish

-All children deserve a stimulating, consistent environment to help them learn and grow

-Some children need extra support, cuddles and PAINT!

Much love,

Hannah

PS - If I can reach my fundraising target, I promise to wear my 'Edgar Davids' running glasses out one night! (see Photo 2)
