Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Those of you who know me will know that I love sport and I love helping other people too.
I am running the Great Eastern half mararthon this year to raise money and awareness for a charity called Christians Against Povery. It is a UK based charity that I support financially that gives free counselling, advice and support to any UK people who are in or battling with debt and finances. I personally have had friends who lives have been transformed through the great work of CAP. Do have a look at their website to find out more about them.
As much as I love sport I have never been a runner. I started running for the first time in January this year (I had never been into a gym either.) I ran outside for the first time in March this year and in the last few months for the first time I ran for longer than an hour for the first time. More recently I have been battling blisters as I got up to running over 2 hours. This will be my first ever race and half marathon. In an attempt to get to the end I have turned down beers , crisps and most lately large german sausages in my efforts to gain an extra few ounces of comfort on this run.
Your support is really valuable to me. I reckon I should finish near 12.30 on the embankment 9th October. So come on and cheer me on or give as you can.
