My story
I did it! Just over a week ago I completed my mission to run the Silverstone Half Marathon. It didn't all go to plan but I crossed the line and thats all that matters.
I think I did Grandpa's memory proud though as I injured my leg just 1 mile in but still completed the remaining 12.1 miles even though I had to run/limp/walk it! After 2 hours 56 minutes and 30 seconds it was at last all over :D
I'm now left with a limp (that is slowly improving) from some muscle & ligament damage and a twisted knee. I've got the running bug badly though so can't wait to get back out there again.
Thank you so much for your support and if you haven't given yet there is still time as I think this page is open for a couple more months.
Much love from a limping Jemela xxx
Sadly in November of last year I lost my Grandpa to complications caused by a late diagnosis of bowel cancer. I wanted to do something to stop others from suffering as he did. So I have decided to run my first half marathon in his memory.
I’m a massive Formula One fan so the Silverstone Half Marathon seemed the obvious choice! Hopefully running on the circuit will provide added excitement & adrenalin needed to help me complete my challenge!
I will be raising much needed funds for the charity Bowel & Cancer Research. Bowel cancer is the 2nd biggest cancer killer! So please give what you can, it’s all much appreciated.
A big thank you to all who have donated so far and helped me reach the £400 which was the minimum I needed to raise to be able to take part.
This charity are small but they put all of their dontations directly into research so every penny really does count.
Many thanks for your support.
Best Wishes,
Jemela x
