Story

I am raising funds for this brilliant charity and in memory of my Mother Ida Lydia Rose who lost nearly all her sight.

I am going to be taking on various challenges over the next year with the ethic of if I see a challenge to just go for it hence the title of my Just Giving Page - "Just Do It for Sight Support HEY".   These challenges can be running, walking, climbing and anything else that has a bit of the "yikes factor".  After abseiling 200ft down a building recently I feel determined to give  events out of my comfort zone a challenge.  I have run various races over the past 4 years and have even run the London Marathon for Sight Support HEY this year. This doesn't mean to say I am by no means a fabulous runner.  Until I came to volunteer at Sight Support I could not even run a mile!!! No two runs are alike and a 3 mile run could be as hard as a 13 mile run some days.  It takes massive commitment and will power to keep on going and at the age of 52 it does not get any easier. 

Some of the events I am taking up in the Just Do It so far are The Hull 10K,  Walking Across the 02 above the building (a 90 minute walk), No Ego Dalby 10k, Hull Marathon Relay and lots more to be listed as and when "I just do it".  I am hoping to conquer hills which I really hate and go in for the Great Scottish run. Again this will be out of my comfort zone.  As and when I have the funds to pay for each event I will sign up and add these to my challenges on my Just Giving page.

If any individual or Company would like to see me take part in an event and are committing to offer a donation for it or sponsor an event for me I would gladly consider this too:)

I will endeavour to raise money through tombolas, cake fayres and lots more fund raising ideas I can think of.  

Any help you are able to give me in any donations no matter how small would be amazing.  Please help keep me going, keep me motivated and help this Hull Charity continue its magnificent work it does.
