Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

Run was GREAT! The atmosphere was fantastic - the craic was 90! For me the highlight was the last 2 miles - having come over the bow of a hill it was down to the sea with the red arrows providing a display! The worst bit was someone had taken my liquice allsorts out of my goody bag!!!!

For anyone that was interested - the ashes were driven past on an open top bus at the beginning while everyone sang jersulam - well everyone other than me - I totally missed the significance!

a big word of thanks to all the staff at the charity tent - a bottle of lucozade and bar of cholcolate never tasted so good!!

Last but by no means list a big thank you to everyone who supported me in any way - including my poor husband who had to mind the kids while I was training and then had to wait to see me finish in South Shields. Definitely an experience to be repeated. I chose to run for Meningitis Research. Some of you may know that my Godchild, Laura McGrath died of Meningitis. I hope that the money I raised will help the charity prevent another family going through the heartache of losing a child. If you can help me in any way I would be grateful - by sponsoring me in person or on-line you can help me make a difference and prove that life is just beginning!! Please dig deep and sponsor me online. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Meningitis Research Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support.
