Recently my husband was hit by a drunk driver while we were out training for the Cardiff Half Marathon. After the accident, I wasn't sure whether I would want to return to running by myself, especially, while he is still bed bound.

However horrible the last few weeks have been, with the support from Duarte, I have decided to still run the Cardiff Half Marathon in October. I will run it for him and the Wales Air Ambulance Charity who among other ambulance services were absolutely fantastic on the day of the accident. Not only caring for Duarte but also for me. 

This run will be a very emotional and tough one for me but with your help I am hoping to raise some money for this fantastic charity and the people working within the Wales Air Ambulance.

The Wales Air Ambulance Charity is funded by the people of Wales and requires £6.5 million a year to keep its four helicopters in the sky, serving Wales and saving lives. The charity can be anywhere in Wales within 20 minutes, its doctors and medics fly the A&E deptartment to the patient.It also runs the Children's Wales Air Ambulance service, transferring vulnerable babies and children to the specialist hospitals across the UK.Your donations will help keep this vital service in Wales.
