Hi Folks

My name is Jacky Fellows and I'm a mother to 3 children, Kate 16, Amy 13 and Hollie 6 and as if that isn't tough enough, I've signed up to run the London marathon on April 13th!

I took up running about 2 years ago to try and lose some of the weight I'd gained after stopping smoking. If I'm honest, I didn't expect my latest fad to last but never the less I bought some new trainers and joined Dudley Ladies running club. Over the next year or so, not only did I lose the weight, I also felt so much better in myself both physically and mentally and I gained so many new friends too. I try to encourage and support all new beginners who come to the club.

As for the running, I'm not particularly quick but I do like a challenge. I've competed in about 20 races so far, the toughest being Tough Guy which is a gruelling 8 mile assault course which I completed in 3.5 hours. Running the London marathon is a once in a lifetime event for me. I'm so grateful to DELTA for giving me the opportunity to take part in this amazing event and not only do I want to do well in the race but I also hope to raise at least £1,000 for Deaf Education. I've gained so much from running and it would be nice to give a little back. 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: DELTA (Deaf Education through Listening and Talking) will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
