My story

Thank you so much for visiting my fundraising page.

When will I learn ???? By now you would think that I would know that my spur of the moment conversations /actions have a habit of coming back and biting me but oh no, I just keep doing it.  So this time that conversation over several glasses / bottles of wine resulted in myself and some of my friends applying to run the London marathon !!

If I am completely honest, when I applied for a place I really wanted to run for bowel cancer, in memory of my mum, as that is what she died of 4.5 years ago. Sometimes however, things don't always work out the way you want.  I was not able to secure a place with a bowel cancer charity but I have been fortunate enough to be picked by Hertfordhsire Community Foundation to run on their behalf.  St Albans has now been my home for over 15 years and Keith and I live a great life in a wonderful city surrounded by fantastic friends.  Not everyone who lives in Hertfordshire is as lucky as we are so I am delighted to be running and raising funds to help other less fortunate people in our county.

If you would like an update on how our training and fundraising efforts are going, please visit our blog at   http://lilisusi.blogspot.com.   

If you wish to sponsor me online, donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Hertfordshire Community Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support and if you are in London on Sunday the 13th of April, do please shout us on our way.

Thanks a million, love Susan xx
