Story

Hi everyone!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!  :)

In less than 2 weeks I will be running the Edinburgh Rock and Roll Half Marathon in aid of 'Alzheimer Support' whose work is essential to all those in need of it.  

This charity is close to my heart as my Grandpa suffered from Dementia and I cherish all the memories I have of him.  Some of his stories, such as, riding to safety on a donkey after being shot down over Greece in his Spitfire during the war, are unbelievable to me as he was not much older than I am now when that happened.

I've never run this far....I've never run more than 10km, and before I started training I'd never run more than 5km so the 21km target (13 miles) is still daunting to me!

As Tesco says 'every little helps', and so any donation you are willing to give would be absoluetly amazing! It will not only go to a very worthwhile cause, but it will also help me get through the 13 miles as I'll know that all the pain will be worth something!

Thanks again, I'll try to run as fast as I can! :)
