Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page lovely people!!

Those of you whole know my sporting acalades will back me up when I say sport aint my thang... It was 5 months ago that Ali Eaves, my amazing running buddy, turned to me and asked if I'd join her on a run. She was looking for a fitness kick after giving birth to her gorgeous daughter Isla, and it was just a spontaneous request to try something new.

Needless to say, after the very FIRST fun we (for some unknown crazy reason) agreed to go the whole hog and do the Brighton Half Marathon in only 6 months time!!! So we pulled our socks up, went to a training day and have been hauling arse ever since...

So on Feb 19th 2012, Ali and I will be hitting the Brighton sea front for our biggest athletic challenge to date!!! (With my 30th just around the corner, this is a big mile stone for me too :D )

My chosen charity is Guide dogs for reasons I think explain themselves. I think it is an amazing cause, so please dig deep, every penny counts!!!

I know some amazing peeps are planning on coming down to watch me crawl over the finish line, before heading to the pub for a well deserved roast and a pint ;) the more the merrier I say!! So please let me know if you'd like to come join us!! (I promise to shower before meeting you all!)

Thank you so much for reading my little story, and thank you for your lovely donation!! :)

Big hugs, Sam xx
