    Weʼve raised £165 to help fund a new charity Pillow in the Park who support the homeless. Ive never run 1/2 marathon before.. its a huge mountain to climb for me

    Funded on Monday, 15th May 2017

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    Pillow in the park supports the homeless and those suffering from mental health & addictions. I was fortunate to have met its founder, Spencer Gymer recently. He has had first hand experience of homelessness and addictions. Having battled his demons, and continuing to do so everyday,

    He has formed Pillow in the Park to help those suffering. Also it's a cause incredibly close to my heart because our family lost our brother to alcoholism in Feb 2009.

    I'm running of memory of my brother, and for my best friend and mum, who would have been proud of me for doing this, and not forgetting all those who suffer on a daily basis with addiction and mental health.

      So I'm going for it on my week off! 4k on Sunday, 14 k on Monday and planning a little jaunt around my fav place, Virginia water today, so a 7k for today! Had to roll myself out of bed yesterday as Ive discovered that 14k and gardening in the same day was a bad idea! Not my smartest move....... Please sponsor me if you can... every penny counts when it comes to giving some comfort to the homeless on the streets. Thank you xxxxxxxxxx
