I have started this just giving page to raise money for the RNLI – because the money raised is what trains the people that might one day have to save your life! I am aiming to reach a target of £150 so dig deep people remember this money is what the RNLI rely on to keep operations running and bringing people home!

Me being me never doing anything by halves , I have decided to sign up for a Hardmoors Trail series Half marathon but when they say half its actually 15 miles of torture over our local hills. Starting off at saltburn leisure centre running over huntcliff and hummersea bank and then returning back to saltburn leisure centre via skelton.

If somebody was to ask me 4 months ago to go for a run I would of just laughed at them as I was not a runner, at that point in time I couldn’t see myself walking anywhere let alone going out for a run for enjoyment and exercise.

This is the biggest challenge I have ever set myself and it’s not something I will be able to just climb out of bed and complete. With the race being held in Febuary 2018 I will be no doubtingly facing the typical north east coast weather ! Wind, rain a little more rain and no doubt some snow, so I am definitely in for a wet,muddy and cold day. My target to complete this route is 3 hours 30 mins with a maximum time of 5 hours, but I will be happy to just finish.
