Thank you for visiting my page.
My application for the 2020 London Marathon Ballot has been granted. However I have taken the decision to defer my position to 2021 to give me more time to loose weight and get fit. A little more realistic I feel.
2019 was a year of No alcohol, Radiotherapy.
2020 will be a year of weight loss, getting fit and now Marathon training. At present I struggle to walk without getting out of breath, so I’ve got work to do and I need all the support I can get - that is were you guys come in!
I will be running for a charity that is very close to my heart - Brighter Futures.
Creating brighter futures for families and young people in Jersey.
Working alongside the main carer, our educational model provides them with the tools to cope.
Supporting 150 families at any one time, we focus on 3 key areas;
- Second chance learning programmes, providing the skills our clients may need in order to progress and succeed in education, work and life;
- Parent – child relationships, helping our clients recognise and value their role as their child’s first and most important educator;
- And mental health and wellbeing programmes, which support social and emotional wellbeing, allowing increased resilience with the outside world to give our clients a brighter future and a hope.
Together, we are creating Brighter Futures for families in Jersey.
