On 14th October I will attempt to run the London Royal Parks half marathon to raise awareness and money for Shooting Star Chase.

For those who know me well know I'm not the best runner in the world but I'm determined to finish this run and raise as much money as possible for this amazing charity which helps support and provide palliative care to families with children who are not expected to reach the age of 19 because of illness, genetic conditions or incurable disease. Whether lives are measured in days, weeks, months or years they are there to make every moment count.

It would be fantastic to reach my target of £500 so any help, no matter how small, in raising this amount would be really appreciated.
