Story

<p>Thanks for coming to my fundraising page!</p> <p><strong>I'm running for a great cause</strong> - I visited the Spring Centre in October last year and was really moved not only by the dedication of the staff but also by the financial challenges they face in keeping such a warm and caring environment for children with different disabilities running.</p> <p>I have run a few Half Marathons before and have 2 more planned (Bath and Reading) in the months leading up to the big day. The 26.2 miles is intimidating but training is going well (thanks to the Virgin Media unofficial lunchtime running club!) and am positive the amazing atmosphere I have heard about will take me over the finish line!</p> <p>This will be my first Marathon and I wanted it to be with a charity that I really cared about - please give generously, any donation will be appreciated.</p>
