Story

I had never run more than about 5km before I started training for this event. However since recently teaching two children undergoing treatment for brain tumours I have been inspired to see what I am physically capable of. These children have shown me what real strength and determination is and I want to give something back. Hospices do amazing work, not only for the children themselves but also their families. Please support me if you can and wish me luck. 

Emily and Cameron this race is for you! 

Well ... I did it - thanks to my brother motivating and keeping me going! My time was 2 hours 12 minutes, which although slower than I'd have liked, is still a respectable time. 

Huge thanks to everyone who has sponsored me - it is such a great cause and I know the money will go to supporting families in real need. 

Now ... where do I sign up for next year?! 😳
