Hi all,

As many of you will be aware I have never described myself as a 'runner'! I had completed a few Race for Life (5k) events and then earlier this year was talked into completing the Bupa 10k with some of the ladies I work with. I completed this and really enjoyed the atmosphere and buzz of finishing! I managed to raise £100+ for the British Heart Foundation from kind family and friends!

Now I have been talked into raising the bar again and am going to complete (or try to!) the Reading Half Marathon on 21st March 2010!  

I've decided to raise money for Friends of Forest Holme as I work at Forest Holme and see the positive difference the funds make to the quality of life of patients and their families. The funds raised go towards supporting all aspects of the palliative care unit including the 10 bedded in-patients ward: the purchasing of specialist equipment; the funding of additional staffing posts; complimentary therapies; couselling and bereavement support to patients and their families.

So please donate what you can.

Many thanks,

Lorraine
