Story

So I got a ballot place (not a ballad which I was calling it...seriously) in the London Marathon 2017. AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! However that didn’t happen as I picked up an injury so I deferred to 2018. Here I am.... well into my training & signed up to Reading half Marathon as well.

I will be "running" 26.2 miles around the streets of London in support of George's wonderful school, Brookfields. George is so very lucky that he is there & I can honestly say hand on heart that it was best decision ever made for him. I can not believe the way my gorgeous George has grown & developed in his time at Brookfields, its gone beyond my expectations. They've learnt how George works in his world & let him be him. They support him with every hurdle that he faces.

He started his first year there with no more than 10 words, he made the most amazing connection with his teacher who made him see that people outside of his family could understand him too & he blossomed from that day forward.

They support us 100% as a family. They have supported me so much, with any issues that have come up with George, both at school & at home. I am greeted with warmth and understanding, am made to feel that no problem is too big for them to help us with. If they make every child & family who attends the school as important as they make us feel, that's a pretty amazing thing to do.  

This is my way of saying thank you for everything you do for my gentle giant George. I would be ever so grateful if you would be able to sponsor me to do this for such an amazing & special school.
