5 years agoSending a big Thank You to everyone who has supported me so far, helping me to surpass my original target. I took part in the MH Park run on Saturday. It was such a lovely morning and I met so many wonderful runners and supporters who all cheered me on. I cannot thank all of the Park Run Officials and Marshalls enough, their support has been outstanding. Due to a slight mix-up and not completing the full circuit, I will be re-running the Park run on Sat. 28 Sept. So there is still plenty of time to show your support. Thank you Barbara J
