Story

Hi there

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I know I said last year that 10k was my limit but it appears I am a liar!  I don't know what happened but somehow I have found myself entered for a half marathon (and a hilly one at that!). 

Many of you who will read this have already been very generous in sponsoring me during the last year or so and I am incredibly grateful that you are here once again because this one is especially important to me as I will be raising funds for Quidenham, a children's hospice in Norfolk, in memory of a very dear family friend, Kathleen Parke, who died in February this year. 

Just in case you need any extra persuading please bear in mind that we are talking 13.1 miles on what might turn out to be one of the hottest days of the year (who the heck decided it was a good idea to host a half marathon at the end of June?!?).  And if that is not enough to squeeze an extra few coppers from you how about this - between mile 9 and 10 is 1 mile of constant up hill climb which, if the first 9 miles haven't already, might just finish me off!

Every penny will be truly gratefully received and may be the only thing that keeps me going at the 11.5 mile mark! 

Thanks in advance
