Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Running, yes me, running.... I must be mad...

I'm taking part in this run for 2 reasons:

1) I need a challenge to get me off the sofa and actually start moving, because as those of you who know me well can confirm I'm a lazy little so and so! I'd much rather be inside on the sofa, eating chocolate, faffing on the laptop, tweeting or watching tv!

2) My Grandad had a stroke over 20 years ago. Thankfully, he's still with us and for that I am truly grateful. However, sadly as the eldest of his grandchildren I'm probably the only one who can remember the man he was before his stroke. I remember how he'd make models. There was always a row of wedding cakes sitting up high, one being fed, one covered in the marzipan and another being iced to perfection. The tomatoes he grew in the greenhouse, his incredibly alcoholic rum fruit salad at Christmas... Sadly, in the years since his stroke my formerly always busy Grandad, has had to give up these hobbies.

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 - I'd love it if I could raise £50 for the Stroke Association.

Thank you!
