Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
So, I did it! It took me 4.43 and was hard but I didn't drop dead at the end! It was a beautiful day but perhaps a bit too warm to run that far and up so many hills! It was a wonderful occasion though and now I've got my breath back (although not yet full use of my legs!) I can appreciate the significance of it.
I am raising money for SSAFA Forces Help which helps 50,000 people a year who are either serving members of the armed forces, veterans or the families of either. This year SSAFA is celebrating its 125th birthday.
I chose SSAFA because Steve is going to be in Afghanistan for 6 months and SSAFA does so much for so many families affected by the war in Afghanistan that I felt it was the charity I really wanted to support.
So, please help me raise money for this wonderful cause.
With love and thanks,
Claire
PS None of the money I raise will fund my trip to Athens or my participation in the marathon.
