Story

I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 2 hrs 21 minutes and 19 seconds

.....without stopping or walking or collapsing!

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
I'm slightly madly attempting to train for the Birmingham Half Marathon whilst having 2 small children, so I'm aiming to complete the course rather than get a good time. If I make it, it will be largely through stubbornness and refusal to give up rather than any amazing training program.

I used to work for Medair in South Sudan before I married, and later for a short time in Darfur. It is an excellent organisation, and really does try to go to the less reported (and therefore less well funded) emergencies, hence private donations are especially appreciated to enable this work.


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Medair UK gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
