In October 2011 I ran my 1st ever charity event, which was a 10km run to raise money for my daughters hospital

Despite never really enjoying running before now, I'm now attempting the biggest challenge of my life(!) and running the London Marathon, on April 26th 2015 - 4 times longer than I've ever ran before!

Chester Lions have now secured my place and this time I'm raising money for another very worthwhile cause. Cheshire Young Carers are a small charity that support children as young as 6 who care for their parent or loved one. A young carer is a child or young person living with a parent or sibling with a disability and/or illness such as: Mental ill health, Substance misuse, Physical illness. This can impact on the young carers development, health and well-being. So the charity's aim is to improve the young carers childhood by supporting them in as many ways as possible, giving them the chance to be a child whenever possible!

The funds I aim to achieve will enable the young carers to go on a activity/adventure trip (hopefully overseas as most of these children have never been abroad before). 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story, I really appreciate your support.
