Ok so first of all I would like to ask you all if you would be so kind to like and share this page I really do need all the help I can get. Thanks

As you all probably know by now that on Friday April 23rd 2017 I am running - The London Marathon in memory of my Mother. I will be running the HORRIFIC 26.2 miles for the charity TEAM SARCOMA UK.

Sarcomas are rare cancers that develop in the Muscle, Nerve, Bone, Cartilage, Tendons, Blood Vessels and fatty & fibrous  tissue. They can affect almost any part of the body on the inside or out.

Most, if not all of you already know that myself and my family lost a big part of our lives suddenly on June 1st 2013 when the Cancer Sarcoma took the life of Patricia Mary Foligno at the very young age of 49 years old. She got taken from us suddenly with no words of goodbye to be spoken, only the hope that she knew how much she was loved and cared about. She was truly an amazing person who never got the appreciation she deserved. But regardless of this she continued to have a heart of gold right to the very end, always putting others before herself. 

No truer saying than 'God only takes the best'.

She was a Wife, Sister, Aunty, Nan, and a Mother of 3 and a Friend who is thought of every day.

It was a very hard time for us all, just as it is for anyone who has lost someone who plays such a big part in their life. It never really get easier but somehow you just have to learn to live with what has happened and continue to keep the memory of them alive by thinking of them always through the good times and the bad. With every decision we make in life you have to stop and think-what would they have wanted you to do for the best?

I would like to ask if you all would be so kind to help me on my 6 Month journey through training aka Miles and Miles of running  and aches and pains and rolling out of bed because my legs wont carry me anymore to Raise money for Team Sarcoma uk.

I understand and appreciate that not everyone can afford to donate but to those who can I would like to ask you for your help as i am sincerly on my hands and knees  begging you for your help as this cannot happen without you. Minimum donation is £5.00 but if you can afford more it will be very much appreciated Thanks.
