Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. This April, I will be running the London Marathon to raise money for the family carer support service provided by Hft.

Before signing up to this marathon, I couldn’t even finish a park run. After about 1k I would give up, with a stitch making any old excuse not to start up again. So for some unknown reason I signed up to run - wait for it - 26.2 miles! 

Some could say this was a little crazy, but when you’re running for such a great charity, and such an amazing, essential service, I couldn’t say no! 

All money raised will go towards Hfts Family Carer Support Service. A Family Carer is a relative or lifelong friend who cares for someone with a learning disability. They take an active interest in that person's wellbeing. The Support Service is there to provide free and independent advice, through workshops, resources and one-to-one advice over the phone, by email or mail.

If that isn't enough encouragement to donate, I will keep you all updated once a week on my runs and even better, I will draw you a beautiful picture of your face when you sponsor me. Now isn’t that just fantastic! 

So if you can spare any pennies at all, for this massive (if not crazy) challenge I’ve signed up for, I would really appreciate your support! 

With best wishes,
