Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Chris was an amazing friend, she was one of the most fun loving and positive women, I've ever met. Chris was so brave throughout her illness and I visited her several times whilst she was in St.Gemma's hospice. Chris told me herself about how wonderful the staff were at St.Gemma's and I know they made her stay there as comfortable as possible. I never once went running with Chris, she was too good and I was afraid I'd end up eating her dust. She did however inspire me to begin running. So raising money for St.Gemma's by running seems befitting. I know I have raised money through runs before, so why is this a challenge for me? Well, I have not run any significant distance in a long time, I have gained a stone and half in the last year and I am travelling all the way from Germany for the weekend to do it! So believe me, it will be a challenge. Christine's true grit and determination will be my inspiration! Dig deep for St.Gemma's!
