May the 4th be With You!!

I am doing my first ever run on 4th May. This is a 5k Star Wars themed run!! For some this is not far but it certainly is for someone who has never done one!

2 years ago my brother in law sadly passed away after being diagnosed with a brain tumour. He battled for nearly 5 years before it finally claimed his life.

Michael was a Staff Sergeant in the Army, and he is survived by his wife and his 2 lovely children. They are both currently 4 and 5.

There are two reasons why I am doing this run in memory of Michael, the first one is because it is a Star Wars themed run, and anyone who knew Michael knows that he was a MASSIVE Star Wars fan. Secondly I am raising money for an amazing charity called Scotty's Little Soldiers.

Scotty's Little Soldiers are incredible, they provide relief from the effects of bereavement to young people up to the age of 18 who have suffered a loss of a parent whilst serving with the armed forces of the crown.

They have helped my family in many ways and I would like to help give something back. Please please donate as much as you can for this little charity, they really do do an amazing job.

Thanks for all of your donations it really does mean a lot to me and all my family. I will certainly be updating this with photos after my run.
