Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Some of you may have seen me pounding the streets of Great Barr of late (I apologise!) however many of you probably won't have!
For reasons still unknown and after several failed attempts I have recently taken up exercise and have found that I actually enjoy it a little. I've signed up to run the Birmingham Half Marathon on Sunday 11th October and am raising money for St Mary's Hospice. Over the years my family, in particular my nan Mary have been supporters of the excellent work carried out at the Hospice and so I want to contribute something too.
I'm aiming to run the 21k (13.1 miles) in approx 2 hours and had recently started regular (ish) 10k runs with the help of Richard Connop (from school) who is also running the race. As I've now moved away from the party capital of Great Barr and onto the more regal surroundings of Royal Leamington Spa I'll be continuing my training with the 'Spa Striders'.....check me!!
On a more serious note I'm hoping to raise £1,000 for St Mary's and every pound that you can afford will really help and be massively appreciated.
The route for the run leaves from Paradise Circus in town, goes down the Pershore Road, through Cotteridge, Bournville and Bournbrook, back up the Pershore Road and finishes on Broad Street. It will be great to see as many of you there as possible on the day
