My story

 

Thank you all for sponsoring me to run the Windsor Half Marathon for The Joanna Brown Trust today. 

I completed it in 2 hours 7mins.  It was a beautiful day today and Windsor Park was a gorgeous setting for it.  Although it was a very hot and hilly experience, so am pleased to have got round in one piece thanks to lots of Lucozade and some good tunes, and all your support!!

One last shameless plug;  if you would still like to sponsor me that would be fantastic to help me reach my target for the Trust!

Thank you!

Many of you of course were great friends with Jo too, but for those of you that did not have the fortune of knowing her, a year ago she tragically died in a trekking accident whilst on holiday in Siberia. 

Jo was a great advocate of sport and was always encouraging friends to get active.  One of my lasting memories of Jo was of a conversation at my birthday last year (over some white wine needless to say), of her trying to tempt me with the challenge of a half-marathon. Although meagre in respect to Jo's achievements, I decided to pursue that challenge this year and have been training hard over the past few months, and am now looking forward to completing my first half marathon.  

The Joanna Brown Trust aims to Encourage Involvement in Sport.  To provide people with an opportunity to not just experience sport, but excel in it.  100% of the money The Joanna Brown Trust receives through donations will go towards their cause.  The Trust will identify a good cause that Jo would have been supportive of and provide them with sporting equipment or facilities. For further information please visit:  www.thejoannabrowntrust.org

Thank you for your support and any donations would be greatly received. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Many thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
