Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.  

Those who know me from old.....know that I'm determined, efficient and do what it says on the tin.  I've recently completed the 6 Elite Major Marathons, been awarded the 6 Star Medal - one of under 5000 in the world to own this wonderful medal.  Did I think of hanging up the trainers??? Think on.  I've been given a new lease of life, I have been given another chance to prove myself in this fantastic Charity, the job is all consuming, it's a huge learning curve, they are there with me every step of the way.  They are the kindest and warmest of people to work for, they love their jobs, take pride in what they do and most  importantly they care for our Military Veterans.  People who have put their lives at risk for us today.  We are very lucky to be able to live as we do because of these wonderful people.  Whilst I can still run, still get up and go to work, I will continue to do so, it keeps me sane, calm (?) and makes me the person I am.  

I know you can all dig deep and come up with 10p, £10, MORE?  Click to support me on the way, first step is Southampton Marathon in May, then the Royal Parks Half, and help this Charity.    I'm running, you're supporting from your arm chair, or side of the street and cheering  me and all the others on, and it's all very very much appreciated.

All donations will make a valuable contribution and once you donate, Just Giving will do all the work and send your money directly to The Royal Star and Garter Homes.

Thank you for visiting my page and supporting me.  I am looking forward to running for this amazing charity.
