So... I have lost 5.5 stone, got fitter, started running last December, ran my first 10k (6.2m) race in July and now I'm going for the half marathon... the biggest half marathon in the world - the Great North Run!  I'm still not a fast runner and much of the course is up hill so my hope is that I will finish in under 2hr 10 mins. I'm running for CAFOD, a charity which works to end poverty and campaigns for a fairer world. Please would you sponsor me? Even a small amount helps to make a difference to the lives of the some of the worlds' poorest people. UPDATE I finished the race in 2:06:14 and an overall place of 16,650! I was really chuffed had a great day and really enjoyed the warm welcome in the CAFOD tent at the the end. Thank you to everyone who sponsored me and of course its not too late for those who haven't yet! Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: CAFOD 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 if you can! Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Coming next year... I'm running the London Flora Marathon fund raising for Oxfam!
