Wow, Team Jim enters into its 7th year of fund raising kicked off as always with the amazing generosity of the attendees to the Jim Shears Memorial Randori held in April at Jim's judo home ground, Wessex Judo Club. A great night enjoyed by all that took part as they remembered their friend Jim.

Team Jim runners will be running the New Forest event again in September. I'm pleased to welcome some new runners to the Team Ali Reynolds, Sarah Baumann, Ellen Golding and some return members. The team are doing a mixture of the 5k, 10k and half marathon and the bigger the better for our team so its not too late to join! Myself, Kate Ball, Jemima Rose and Claire Rigler are also attempting Tough Mudder this year in August to add a bit of extremity and mud and electricity... to the mix.

As ever, my huge thanks and admiration to all Team Jim runners, event organisers, donators and supporters. Your the best. To date, we have raised a whopping £17,000+ since we lost our hero's back in 2010. They would be mega impressed for sure, I am! So thank you again for helping me to keep up this massive fund raising mission. Let's do it for the boys, what better motivator  Xx
