Thanks for looking at my Just Giving page.

There is a famous film 'The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner.' Well maybe this is 'The Whole Lot Less Loneliness of the 13.3 Mile Runner'. I have formed a new life in Edinburgh and part of my 'gestation' period involved becoming a befriender for the charity Ecas. 

Ecas facilitate connecting people who have become isolated through disability, because connectedness  is an under rated but vital component of human life. We all need support for whatever Long Haul we are faced with, so to show my appreciation for their work, and what they stand for, the run seemed a good parallel.... Not a perfect parallel though as befriending doesn't give you blisters and you don't need special shoes to do it in... but other wise... Well, I'm sure the symbolism is apt . :)  Jo.
