    Story

    I was fortunate enough to gain a ballot entry to this year's London Marathon and on 23rd April, I will be aiming to run the full distance to raise money for my local Primary School.

    Those of you who know me well will know that, despite having inspiring parents who have run many Marathons between them over the years, running does not come naturally to me. In fact, I only took running up seriously about six months ago. Recently I have endured the rain and wind, and many tired evenings after work, to get my trainers on and get out for a training run. I am grateful to my husband who has endured more than his fair share of dirty dishes, my Mum who has spent hours babysitting, my Dad who has helped me get through the gruelling training, and of course, my patient kids who have asked over and over again, "mummy, running again?!"

    As I work for a local Child and Adolescent Mental Health Team, I am aware of the impact schooling can have on a child's emotional and physical wellbeing. I would very much like to raise money for a local cause and request you to help me as I try and raise money to fund for reading books for Swavesey Primary School. Cutbacks Education mean resources are tight and every penny would be much appreciated.

    I'm hoping to raise enough money to buy at least two sets each of a collection of reading books for Preschool upto Year 6...ideally, they need 3 sets for each year.

    I'm also raising money for a Cambridgeshire based charity (Centre 33) who provide mental health support to local young people aged 13-25, by providing free and confidential counselling.

    Please help me to support tomorrow's future. Please dig deep as I challenge my body and mind to 26.2 miles of running to support these excellent local causes!!

    Thank you.x
