So mission accomplished : D
I made it round in 2.20 and amazingly came in the top third out of 38,000 1/2 marathon runners!! This either means I have reached a high level of fitness or there were an extraordinary number of unhealthy competitors! No matter. Very proud of myself and just need to think of the next challenge to keep the momentum going..
A ginormous thank-you to those of you who have donated so generously to Action for Children so far. Is goes without saying how much I appreciate the support you have given as I'm sure the children, young people and families that will benefit from this will too.
For those who are still tempted; I will be eternally grateful if you would be kind enough to dig deep to support them with me too. It would be great to hit £1000.
In a nutshell this charity provides a valuable befriending service to children and young people from disadvantaged lone parent families with the aim of enabling consistent positive parenting and strengthening the family, to ensure better long term outcomes for their children.
As you all know I am deeply passionate about the work I do with children and young people, particularly those who are at a disadvantage through unfortunate circumstance. This charity has the child & young person's best interest at the heart of it and gives them an opportunity to engage in activities they enjoy and to form a healthy attachment to another trusted adult for a minimum of 2 years.
This charity however and therefore those children and their families, due to the lack of government funding, are reliant on people like us.
Go on. Please give...
Thank-you xxx
