Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Oxford Half Marathon on 14th October 2012 which gives me 14 weeks to train to become an athlete.

This will be the second time I have ran a half marathon, the first nearly four years ago was at Silverstone and I ended up with a broken foot and missing the London Marathon only weeks later. So I am hoping this time to finish this attempt without any major injuries.

I am running for Helen & Douglas House which provides respite and end-of-life care for children and young adults with life-shortening conditions, as well as support and friendship for the whole family. The two hospice houses are bright, vibrant and positive places, where the emphasis is on living life to the full, even when that life may be short. This year celebrates their 30 anniversary as the world’s first Children’s hospice and with the current economic situation they need our help more than ever before.

I am running this half marathon as part of the Vodafone Just Text Giving challenge and I have been given the challenge of raising £100 in text only donations which will be matched by my organisation.
