9 weeks today to the big run..Completed12.15 Miles in 2hrs 25 mins today, soaked through as it poored down with rain the whole time I was out....Really happy with training at the moment and still on target. Can't seem to get below the 12 minute mile - overall average though. Time to push the fundraising now after all that's why I'm doing this, come on folks make your donations lets make these kids happy.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have chosen to take on the challenge of the Cardiff Half Marathon on 6th October 2013, to help raise funds for MediCinema Serennu.

MediCinema was introduced to help bring the magic of film to sick children and adults who may not get the chance to visit their local cinema. Please take time to check out their website by using the link on this page, to see the fantastic work they are doing.

When you have a disabled or sick child it is more important than ever to keep a little piece of normality in their lives and for me I have seen first hand how important it is not only to my daughter, but to many children whom would not be able to visit their local cinema. Not forgetting that it also allows familly units and siblings of sick children to spend quality time together, away from the surroundings of a hospital ward.

I understand that due to the current economic climate it may be difficult to donate big sums of money, so I am asking people, when they can, please donate whatever you can afford to my challenge and I will aim to get this message out to as many people as possible and keep you up to date with my progress.

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 MediCinema 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.

Thankyou for your help and support.
