Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have run for as long as I can remember, cross country at school, then I got into long distance running mainly just for the exercise and freedom with the odd a event per year.

Then in May 2011 a friend put me onto the Brathay 10 in 10, I was hooked on two levels, on one level the sheer challenge of 262.2 miles over 10 days with a small group of like minded people really appealed, I really had not done as many organised events as many runners but felt compelled to enter.

Plus I read the website, the work that Brathay does for disadvantaged children, is quite amazing, I have always felt blessed for the good luck and positive circumstances I was raised in, it really has given me the values I live my life by and in turn I can pass on to my children, For me that is what Brathay does, by helping children its helping future generations of children.

My goal is to raise £10,000 for brathay, not because I have to because the cause benefits us all as a society in some small way. Help me raise £10,000
