My story

Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 1st April 2012, I will be running the Reading Half Marathon (no, not an April Fool!).  It is the first time I have ever done anything like this and will definitely be the furthest I've ever run!  I decided that I would run to honour a friend, Emma, who passed away recently.

Emma was an old friend and very special person.  I've got some good memories of Emma and I always had lots of fun with her!!

It's so very sad to think of her gone and it seems that Post-Natal
Depression is sometimes marginalised where other mental illness is often better recognised.  With that in mind, if you would like to get involved by donating any amount, all the money raised will go to The Association for Post-Natal Illness.  

Thanks for all your support.  Everyone's been so supportive and I'll think of Emma on a beach somewhere (she loved her holidays!) saying thank you too! 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.  Thank you very much.

Love Suki

My employer does match funding so I applied and am pleased to say they have agreed to contribute £182.00 to APNI. This will be paid directly to the charity. I have added this to the donations. Thank you Capita. XXX

Well, I actually finished it!! So did tom! And in a respectable 1 hr 58! Thanks once again for all your support. I'm sure Emma would've been really proud of everyone for supporting such a good cause. Hope the money raised helps many sufferers and their families, xxxxx
