Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am planning on completing a variety of running events, progressing from 5k and culminating in a marathon. My plan is to complete numerous, 5k, 10k and half marathon distances before completing a marathon next year. I am embarking on this challenge to raise funds for the Baby Ava's Support Foundation. I have picked this charity following the devastating loss of my nephew, Ethan William Smith who was prematurely born sleeping. My brother and sister in law were given a memory box in memory of Ethan' life,  which this charity supply. The thought that goes into these boxes and it's contents are so meaningful and supportive during a time that no parent should have to experience and which words can't describe the grief experienced. These boxes are created by Richard Atkinson, father of Ava. He was given a memory box to hold the memories of Ava. Sadly the company who made these boxes were unable to sustain this gesture. The box proved to be of such significance and importance that Richard began making and providing these boxes free of charge himself. The baby Ava foundation was presented with a charity number in 2015 and is entirely dependant on charitable donations. http://www.babyavasfoundation.org

There's no footprint too small that cannot leave an imprint on this world.

First challenged booked! 5k color run in Brighton September 17th. My friend Kelly Owen is kindly joining me for support on this one 😊
