Story
On the 2nd July this year my step sister Claudia had one dark day too many and sadly decided to take her own life.
She was such a fabulous person and a day hasn’t gone by where I haven’t missed her and thought about her many quirky ways.
In her memory I have decided to do the run to the beat half marathon to raise money for the mental health foundation.
I know that Claudia will be with me every step of the way (although I know who will be the one with the blisters at the end!)
Every bit of money you donate will be going to a truly magnificent cause and every little bit helps. So please give generously

“Dog days are Over”
Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
Because here they come
And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the head
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
Because here they come
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You can’t carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
Because here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
