Story
My name is Kylie and I am a 33 year old mum of four wonderful children. In May 2016 I joined my local running club, Framlingham Flyers, to get fit and lose weight. To begin with, I hated it. "Why would anyone do this for fun?" I would say! After six weeks I was hooked. I am not quick but I am improving and I try my hardest. The running club is extremely supportive and makes me feel that I can do anything, which is probably why, less than two years on, I am running the 2018 London Marathon!! This is the BIGGEST challenge I have ever taken on!
So, whilst I run 26.2 miles around London on 22nd April 2018, I am looking for sponsorship through this page for something else I feel passionate about, which is children's education. My three youngest children attend Earl Soham Primary School in Suffolk. This is the most amazing small primary school, where every child is cared for and made to feel that they can do anything, just like Framlingham Flyers makes me feel. I would like to take this opportunity to give something back to such a wonderful school and raise money to fund an outside classroom. This would be a place where the children could learn in the fresh air, be inspired by their surroundings and therefore enhance their learning.
Many thanks in advance for your generosity,
Kylie

7 years agoHello All! So, yesterday was my 2018 London Marathon attempt. All didn't go quite to plan unfortunately... A combination of heat and panic attracts made a very difficult start to a 26.2 mile course. Several drinks stations had run out of water causing me to become dehydrated. At Mile 16.5 St.Johns ambulance tried to remove me as i appeared unwell but I continued. At mile 17.5 I collapsed at the side of the road and paramedics took me off in an ambulance. I am recovering at home and I am fine now! Thank you for all the incredible support, Kylie

All my training is complete and all I need to do now is collect my race number and make my way to London on Sunday. Thank you so much to everyone for your wonderful good luck wishes and donations, I have been overwhelmed by the support. I look forward to handing the money raised over to Earl Soham Primary school. My race number is 20344... You can track me on the London Marathon App if you wish!!! Many thanks again, Kylie
