Story

Thank you so much for visiting my Just Giving Page.

On the 28th April, I'm going to try and run (*jog slowly) The London Marathon. It's something I've wanted to try and do for years and the longer I leave it, the harder it's going to be! 

Why am I doing it? Well there's a whole load of personal reasons that I won't bore you with but I mainly want to do it to show my three kids that you can do anything you put your mind to! 

I've been lucky enough to get a place to run for a charity who I really believe would benefit from any money I am able to raise. 

Andy introduced me to The Mulberry Bush School last year - they work with some of the most traumatised and vulnerable primary school age children from all over the UK. With the great patience, reassurance and skilled care provided at The Mulberry Bush School, these children are gradually encouraged to a stage where they can learn to trust and respect themselves and others, to establish ordinary human relationships and to begin to learn.

As a Mum of three children, I know how precious these early years are and how important it is to give children the best start in life.  

Anything I can raise, will help The Mulberry Bush School to provide these children with so many things that we often take for granted.

Thanks so much
