On the 14th March 2021,  I will be taking part in the Greshams Half Marathon.   I am not a natural runner but if the last year has taught me anything it is that life is too short and one should have a go at everything.  lf Captain Sir Tom Moore (a true inspiration!)  can do a 100 laps of his garden , then I can certainly run 13.1 miles ! The event was originally going to take place along the North Norfolk Coast as a collective group, however due to the pandemic , it will now be run virtually. So far the training has been going well, most of the time I have looked like I am taking part in a tough mudder as it has been so wet and muddy everywhere!

I will be raising money on behalf of Greshams School for The Treehouse Community Café in Holt. It was opened last year and has a community fridge, zero waste café, outdoor area with a vegetable garden and runs workshops such as childrens yoga and music groups. This community centre is vital to the area as it provides a friendly and welcoming environment that aims to support people affected by poverty and deprivation in Holt. This effort particularly helps anyone who needs it from new mums, to vulnerable elderly people and children with speech difficulties. Our goal of £6000 will go towards building a low-level treehouse with disabled access and a sensory garden. A group of Greshams students visited the Treehouse Community centre in October to help start the development of the sensory garden where the treehouse will be situatuated.

I would be most grateful for any donation , as it will definitely spur me on during the run, knowing that I will be raising money for this fantastic cause .

Much love
