As Edridge rep for Greater Manchester, I'm aware of the valuable work the fund does and the people it has helped.

It's four years since I last ran the London marathon and now, finally, I feel recovered enough to give it another go!

After much beating myself up about not getting my backside in gear, the training started in earnest after christmas & I'm reasonably confident that I'll cover the distance. If I do, it'll be in no small part thanks to the support of Gail for the kicks up the backside, coming on training runs with me and a watch that does everything but run the race for me!

In the current climate of cuts and ever increasing financial pressures on probation and CAFCASS staff, the Edridge fund is a vital last resort for colleagues experiencing particular hardship.

 I would therefore urge you to sponsor me so my suffering is about more than masochism!

Just ran Liverpool half marathon today in a personal best time of 1.56.37. Bring it on London!! 

Regards

Karl
