Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I cannot believe how quickly the last year has gone but the time has come for me to throw on my trainers again and to get training for the upcoming Wilmslow half marathon.</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Last year I completed the run in just over 2 hours and my aim is now to try and break the 2 hour mark. I&rsquo;d expect though that even shaving a couple of minutes of my time will be a big challenge!</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am hoping to raise money again for the Nichols Spinal Injury Foundation.&nbsp; This is a very worthwhile cause, which helps to raise vital funds for research into spinal injuries.&nbsp; It is a charity which is important to me as a relative of mine tragically died, at just 23, after sustaining terrible neck injuries whilst playing rugby.</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Once again, any support no matter how small or large would be greatly appreciated!</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lots of love,</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lizzie</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">XXX</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">PS Anyone who fancies coming along and supporting on the day is more than welcome. It&rsquo;s amazing how much difference a bit of cheering makes! Plus my &lsquo;interesting&rsquo; running technique tends to give people a good giggle...</span></span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
