My story

 

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.

In 2008, I set up joggingforjonny to raise money for BLESMA in Jonny's memory. This included 5 10k races, 1 half-marathon and 1 triathlon. This year, I am stepping it up a gear and am running the Stockholm marathon in May. I also hope to complete the Ironman 70.3 in 2010.  If anyone cares to join me in any of these races (or any training events), or wants to take part in another event for joggingforjonny, please feel free to email me at lalabotty@hotmail.com.

Events for the future include the joggingforjonny 10k in Brighton, February 2010. Details of how to apply for a place to follow. 

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.
