Thank you for helping me round 262 miles. I thought 2008 was hard but I've never cried so much as I did in Marathon number 9. In fact from mile 4 I never stopped. The support of all the team, Selina Da Silver, George Russell, York Harriers and Parents kept me going on this terrible day. The wonderful Amy (Active -Physio) ensured I got to the end of Number 10. This is team work, I just keep going as long as I can to hopefully raise money to allow others to have a life as enjoyable as mine. Brathay is worth every penny - don't beleave me take a visit and you will fall in love with the place and people.

Would I do it again? The pain, tears, blisters, cost...If my body can hold out...its been the best 20 days of my life... you bet I'd do it again, but don't tell the Physio or parents.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Brathay Hall Trust 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.
