Story

Hello!

Thanks for visiting my page.

As many of you know, I have a 9 year old son (Jack) who has special educational needs. IPSEA, the charity I am fundraising for, have given me lots of support with him.I would like to help them continue their valuable work, they really make a difference for children who can’t access the right education. If you scroll down a bit, you can read about more about IPSEA.

I am turning 40 in January and I want to run 40 kms to celebrate it. I have never run a marathon, but I love running and I am very determined to do it! So far, I have mixed experiences with running, including

- getting lost in the local park run on several occasions (with dozens of marshalls and 400 runners  it looks impossible but I do find myself on my own around the lake and looking confused at the swans).

- missing the bus to the race (I was definitely in the right bus stop for more than an hour)

- going for a fancy dress run wearing a very heavy Christmas tree outfit and getting a nerve trapped in my bottom! 

Because of this injury, currently I am resting and doing physio exercises by the Christmas tree (the real one, not the outfit:-).

I would be grateful if you could make a small donation, a fiver will do! I know you get asked for donations quite often and you can't always support everyone. Either way, I am grateful you spent some time reading about my fundraising and I wish you all the best!
