Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm doing this challenge in memory of my son Matt Skinner who we lost to suicide on 25th of June 2015. His death had a devastating effect on all those who knew and loved him. This highlights the need of a support network like "Sunflowers suicide support". 

I started running in July 2020. just as we were coming out of the 1st lock-down, I was feeling quite sluggish so decided to do the" couch to 5k challenge" it took me a bit longer to achieve, but I soldiered on. I wasn't sure where it was going to take me. So when the opportunity came up to do the "10k your way" challenge I had no hesitation.

I aim to do 2 x 5k over the week. By doing this I would be able to support a much needed charity but also do it in the week of my sons 6th anniversary.
