Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit this JustGiving page.

After 18 months of pandemic it's time to dust off this just giving page! Since March 2021 I've had a running buddy - Fee! She and I are now in training for Brighton Half Marathon in February and we are going to be running Percy Pud 10k with Katie in December for the Children's hospital charity. It's been so motivating having a good friends egging me on and running with me!

Here's why I started this challenge in the first place:

When my eldest son, Dominic, was diagnosed with Leukaemia at age 7 in 2012 I thought it was the end of the world. However, Sheffield Children's Hospital were amazing and made everything easy. Dominic loved staying over at hospital and that is thanks to all the fantastic people who work there. Dominic is 14 now and the hospital still keep a close eye on him. I vowed to give something back to say thanks for the wonderful care that we still receive and I've finally got my act together and decided to set myself a challenge which will also motivate me to get in shape!

I'm going to attempt to do 50 charity runs before I'm 50. You can follow my progress on my blog: https://50before50challenge.wordpress.com/
