Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am not blessed with a natural love of running or a natural talent for it! I only started running in April of this year and at first, I could hardly run 1km without stopping.

It has taken me all summer to train and build up to this half marathon distance and I am still not feeling particularly ready for it!

I am running The Royal Parks Half Marathon with some of my colleagues at Lidl to raise money for Lidl's charity partner, The NSPCC which is the UK's leading children's charity to help prevent child abuse.

I will be over the moon once I have crossed that finish line and accomplished the personal challenge of running 13 miles and also delighted knowing that I have helped raise funds for such an important cause.

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks for taking the time to read my story
