Our personal message:

This page is set up in memory of my wonderful fiance 2LT Jonathan Carlos Bracho-Cooke. Jonny was killed in action in Iraq on 5th February 2007.

Jonny was so courageous and incredibly caring and giving. He believed strongly in helping others and supported veterans of the army and fellow servicemen whole-heartedly. BLESMA  is a charity which supports servicemen and women who have been left with severe handicaps from their own bravery and willingness to selflessly put themselves forward for the greater good of others.

Unable to secure places in the Flora London Marathon 2008, Simon (my sister's fiance, and Jonny's good friend) and I set about running smaller races to raise money for BLESMA. Together with Jonathan's sister, Lucy and other friends and family members, we took part in 5 10k races, a half-marathon, a triathlon and the London-Brighton bike ride.

I am very touched to announce that Andrew Lazarou, James Harding, Gemma Smith and James Pennick (Jonny's friends from school) have decided to run the Berlin Marathon on 28th September 2008 in aid of joggingforjonny. This is a MASSIVE challenge and I wish them the very best of luck. 

Events for the future include the joggingforjonny 10k in Brighton, February 2009. Details of how to apply for a place to follow. I will also be running the Paris Marathon in April 2009. If anyone cares to join me in any of these races, or wants to take part in another event for joggingforjonny, please feel free to email me at lalabotty@hotmail.com.

Many thanks to all previous runners... *Lucy Cooke *Simon Hinks *Adrian Wellock *Katie Cooke *Ben Cooke *Charlie Blair *Katie (Charlie's girlfriend) *Samantha Dodd *Tom Bran *Patricia Morris *Kelly Morris *Rich Roberts *Nathan Coe *Steve Hobson *Nick Breeze *Asa Holliday *Helen Ellicott *Michael Henry. 

We run in memory of a great friend and true soldier who stopped at nothing to help others. The pain of our loss is immense and unrelenting. By running these races, we hope to use Jonny's memory to help his fellow heroes.
