Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page to raise money for Keech Hospice Care, a charity I work for.

Keech provides Hospice care for children who live in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Milton Keynes, a huge area.They provide support 24 hours a day for all the family . The government only gives 25% of the running cost, the hospice needs to raise the rest and so  I have committed to raising £1,500 by running the London Marathon.  I have not done any running since my school days (too long ago to remember!) so I have been training hard running around in the dark evenings and taking cod liver oil capsules for my knees!

Please support me and make my hard work worthwhile, as so many of us are blessed with healthy children.

UPDATE

I had an amazing day that I will remember for ever.  I completed the marathon in 5hrs 37mins.  I was overtaken by Rhinos, Darth Vader, Man in Fridge and numerous other characters but it didn't matter as we were all there for the same purpose, to raise as much money as we could.  I have beaten my target because of all you wonderful people who have supported me and my charity.  I can not thank you enough.

Please don't forget, if you ever have a clear out at home my shop in kempston tel 856500 would love to have your donations as stock often runs low.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
