Story

<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Starting on Feb 24th&nbsp;2011 I will be running from&nbsp;&nbsp;the very northern most point&nbsp;of Wales to Barry in the south within a week, a total of 215 miles. The aim is to complete 30 miles a day, every day for 7 days. I will be supported by a sports massage therapist, but intend to run the entire challenge solo. I&nbsp;will be calling in at&nbsp;Platform 51's&nbsp;Cwmafan centre en route, and hope that as many people as possible will be able to join me to run a section of the across Wales run. I hope to be able to raise the profile of women&rsquo;s running in Wales, and I will also be raising money for Swansea Women&rsquo;s Aid as well as&nbsp;Platform 51.</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: #002060; font-size: 10pt;">Platform 51 supports girls and women as they take control of their lives. Girls and women are at the heart of all we do. Our activities, services and campaigns are about things they need and want. We give them a platform to have their say and challenge discrimination. Women today face problems that are often subtle or misunderstood. Despite shifts in attitude and changes in the law, women are often unheard, isolated and face discrimination.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p><span>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
