So this year has been the "get fit year" in my family with my sister running the London Marathon in April and my mum deciding that she too can partake in a long-distance run. For the past 18 months she has been down the gym and over 3 1/2 stone lighter she (along with anyone else she has managed to rope in) are taking place in the 10k.

This page is more in support of her efforts to overcome personal goals as well as raising money for charity.

Grove House is a local hospice near to where I live and they have helped so many people we as a family know, they do such amazing work and are totally dependent on fundraising with no additional government grants.

Please can you give as little or as much as you can to this charity, all donations are gratefully received!
