Story

                                                                                 UPDATE

Well I managed to finish, there were a couple of miles where it was touch and go but I some how got through them and finally finished in 3hrs 41mins 37secs well with in my target time.

 

A massive thank you to everyone that has sponsored me and help me beat my target amount.

                                                                                 UPDATE

With 3 weeks to go until the big day I thought it would be a good idea to give you all an update on how my training is going.

 

I have now covered nearly 300miles with no injuries and can't wait to line up on the start line on the 25th. I have managed two 20 mile runs within the last 4 weeks completing both within 3 hours so hopefully I am in good shape to complete the full distance within my target time of 4 hours.

 

A big thank you to everyone that has sponsored me.

                                                Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’ve signed up for the Virgin on 25th April 2010 to help raise money for the Foundation for Paediatric Osteopathy. The Foundation has been treating our little girl since her birth in August 09.

08 August 09 was the happiest day of our life's when baby Harriet was born, unfortunately she had a bit of a complicated birth resulting in damaging the muscles in the left hand side of her body and her being in a lot of pain with a lot of teary eyes and sleepless nights.

Since the start of her treatment Harriet's progress has been brilliant and with the help of the fantastic staff at the foundation we now have a very happy smiling little girl.

The Foundation for Paediatric Osteopathy is the only charity of its type in the world and uses gentle manual techniques to
bring about profound changes within a child or young person's body, using non-invasive but highly effective rebalancing procedures.

The Foundation do a fantastic job, but it costs £1million each year to run their services including free clinics which offer 30,000 treatments annually.

So please please please dig deep and give what you can to help them continue their good work.

Thank you!
